A commendable decision to close the project and return the money, and not to muddy for several years in early access with a bunch of promises.

Well, now in the industry for the well -being of the project it should be bought with enough circulation, even when it has not yet been officially released. Many people simply do not want to have any business with early access, this time. And there are no quality planks for this RD itself, these are two. Everyone releases that. Someone is something more or less decent, and others and a piece of software code. Having read the reviews in Steam, it is clear that this game was extremely amused and did not have the simplest functions of ergonomics even for the project in RD. To start it, it was necessary to delve some somewhere, to set up something, and the result of it can not even come out humanly without Alt+F4. Nonsense.

Here is the surname that is familiar, but nothing about himself or about his game in his memory does not pop up, so, it seems, it seems to be a pity, but it seems like there is no. In general, I hope if a person is a talent then breaks through (at least somewhere, at least like that)

Small offtopic, but what kind of Assassin sign is this next to the nickname? And then I did not sit on SG for more than 2 months and not much in the know of local, fashionable trends, but interesting)
