No impressed with them. Purchased 2 copies of the game before the Don't Starve Together co-op thing, in order to get the co-op addon free when released so me and someone could play together.
However turned out it's only with Steam, in that we would have to install Steam, and then the game through Steam, just to play the co-op.
In all this time they haven't bothered to so much as add direct IP connections to avoid such crap yet they're now pushing out DLC. Won't ever be seeing another cent from me, no loss to them but won't be any further loss to me either.
No offense dude, but I think this is a bit silly. I personally think Klei has handled Early Access better than most. Yes, you got early access to DST (and eventually the final product) for FREE if you bought DS before a certain date. That's not good enough for you? Because... you don't like Steam? You say that they don't have direct IP as if they have done NOTHING else either, like oh I don't know, add caves?
DST is still, to this day, in early access; "Early Access" being a Steam/Valve initiative. Of course that wouldn't be available anywhere but on Steam. You didn't see that when you signed up? Is the issue that you can't wait until it comes out? You can't use Steam just until it is eventually released?
They chose to use the Early Access system to handle the beta of their product. Is that their crime, in your eye? If you want to beta it, you have to use Steam, otherwise you have to wait until it actually comes out. You want to moan about a feature they have never promised before the game comes out? Early Access probably isn't for you.
