Not because the overwhelming sentiment from ppl with 5+ hours in was negative, but because one of the three main Devs of the game literally threatens to sue a poster for being skeptical about Steam reviews (that from his perspective went missing) and criticizing the game. Yeah, so any chance of me playing Saint Kotar just dive-bombed out the window after I decided to read through impressions on the Adventure Gamers thread. I think the devs should worry about the damage they're doing to their own reputation with strong-arm responses like this over anyone else. Still curious to know what anyone thinks of the game should they decide to play it, but this was enough for me to say "fuck it" completely. I can scarcely think of a worse way handle this situation than intimidating a forum poster with threat of legal action because they were suspicious of missing reviews. Instead the response was frankly embarrassing. This could have been easily clarified with class. It could also be any other number of things I'm not aware of that don't implicate the devs in any way. I could easily imagine Steam has some automated filtration process that scrubs reviews it deems as spam or harassment, similar to YouTube's comment system. I don't know enough about the developer side of Steam to know why this would have possibly happened. Checked again some time later and only one of the negative reviews was still there. At some point on launch day there were like 6 or so reviews and let's say 5 of them were negative.
Thing is, I actually saw the same thing the poster did.
