Friday the 13th: The Game Launch Hits Bad Luck [May 29, 2017, 11:02 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Friday the 13th: The Game launched on Friday the 25th
on
Steam, but it's still been bad luck for the launch of this movie tie-in,
despite almost 40 years to work on it since the launch of the first film in the
series (thanks
GameInformer). The problems are pretty significant, gauging by
this
wall of text post on Facebook discussing them. They go into individual
issues and how to work around them. There is also an update
on Kickstarter on the topic, also discussing the status of back rewards.

Our hopes & prayers go out to the total of 5 people who bought this and can't play now.....
Being as that's simultaneous logins, probably the actual sales are higher
Because databases just corrupt themselves when attempting to write excess data?
Saw a let's play video on this and was astounded at how awful it looked and played. Unbelievable that they could release this game in this state and expect to have anything but overwhelming negative reaction by gamers.

Sorry. I confused it with another game that will take AT LEAST 40 years until release (of a very limited beta).
Alien Isolation was based on a 40 year old property and came out pretty well by all accounts. So it can be done. Seems like these folks didn't care enough to.
If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. Slava Ukraini!
My son rang me the other day saying it was a really good price for launch day. Happily I said no way. His young (15) he will learn that releasing half a game with no critic reviews means don't buy it yet.
