Decided to reinstall this, they have continued patching it for a long time it seems! Also I see they added a few $1 dlcs.

Oh no.

  • TAKE OFF THE FCKN MASKS - Next time you’re at the grocery store, try showing a woman your face. Be confident, unafraid of the LIES – you might get a girlfriend. Women like confidence. Women don’t like dudes who cover their faces in fear. What are you afraid of? Getting laid? Grow up.

He’s being even worse in the comments of the post. Regret buying that one now.

Removed from my wish list. Thanks for sharing!

Welp, that’s going off the wishlist. Oooooooof.

Kind of shocked he didn’t go alpha/beta/gamma in that comment, TBH.

Thanks for getting this to me - I reported the game, and requested a refund. The refund isn’t to get the money of course, but to make steam aware what the developer is using their platform for.

Hmm. I guess he was showing his crazy for a while. This is from the May 6th 2021 beta update notes:

(* some men still wont fight. they’re weak. there’s no accounting for weak men. weak men lack character. strong moral fibre is hard to come by. it’s earned through hard work and sacrifice and it cannot be had via onlyfans or pornhub. no, those fuckin’ things are demonic posessions waiting to show you a succubus tiddy in the hopes you’ll waste a load on her instead of spending that energy studying how to weld or grow a potato or learning a new language or how to program a computer. listen, kids … get off them porntubes and do something with your life becuase no one is gonna give you a goddamned thing and this whole mess we call civilization is only getting harder. we need solutions and we need smart men who can work hard and implement those solutions. masturbating to egirls isn’t gonna solve the energy crisis is it? get to work.

… or play video games and have a relax and then get to work, fresh, tomorrow. i can’t possibly know whats best for you in your individual situation.

really… don’t let strangers on the internet tell you how to live your life. if you want to be told how to live your life, read the new testament. the internet will only give you lies.)

… ok.

It’s times like this when the “I want to permanently remove this game from my account” feature in Steam really comes into it’s own.

What happened with your refund request?

ooof

Oh right, I own this and was trying to figure out how to delete it (I got it 5 years ago in a bundle so a refund is a non-starter) but owning it means I can review it…

No refund, but that was expected. It was to make Steam aware of what was going on.

Since then, I found the “report” function on the games page, and used that instead.

Thanks for the info

My friend @lordkosc recommends this game. :)

I’d somehow never heard of this, but all the sudden attention made me curious because I have a soft spot for manly sword-and-sandal gladiatorial combat games. An hour in and it’s good! I get that the guy wrote something people don’t like in the middle of the patch notes, but I’m kinda glad he did because I might have missed this otherwise. If you like gladiator simulators and you’re willing to accept that the guy who’s devoting his life to making this particular gladiator simulator is also an absurdly over-the-top alpha male who isn’t afraid to make that clear in the patch notes, I’d say this game might be for you! Assuming you have a girlfriend etc etc.
