    They would have, but the publisher has agreed to give refunds to anyone who wants one.

    Edit: someone else posted sources but here is another one as well

      Really? If that’s true that would be the most bizzare thing about the whole situation tbh. Not in a bad way though.

      Do you have a source?

        “We are sorry for the fact that the game didn’t meet the expectations of the majority of the players,” reads a statement from Mytona, noting it’s an investor in the game.

        “Today we will work with Steam to open up refunds for any players who choose to make a refund. We’re in contact with Fntastic regarding the future of the game.”

        Answer to those who ask for a refund. Mytona and we’re currently working with Steam to allow refunds for any player who chooses to request one, regardless of game time. Fntastic received $0 and will receive nothing from The Day Before sales.

          This is absolutely crazy. It’s good to see but the whole thing doesn’t make any sense to me

        To clarify, it’s the publisher not the Devs. They are also likely victims here.
