Oh BTW, love your username. TPB is great. :D

Absolutely! Consulting the community and voting with our wallets is best. A lot of people can save a lot of wasted money by doing that. Definitely spread the word about TLD. 5 years in the making and hardly nothing to show for it. Total ripoff. Anyway, glad I could help another gamer and hope you're having an awesome weekend.

The trick is to always consult the community. I always look for negative reviews and negative comments on the forums. I can judge if I care about that based on my preferences. Honestly Idprefer steam let the dogs out as is. We as customers have to stick together and spread information so we can vote with our wallets! Although yeah, sometimes it feels like steam does let too much pass.

Yeah it definitely is very, very lacking. The whole gig is corrupt anyways so you dodged a bullet in a huge way by not buying into it all. Really gotta watch out for these Early Access indie devs nowadays. There are so many milking people with garbage games now and Valve doesn't seem to give a crap about poor quality standards festering on their platform.

@borg TY man. Premise looks good, but game looks like lacking a good loop of gameplay.

Steer clear of The Long Drive. Whole gig is run by a bunch of narcissistic dictators. Censorship everywhere. Abusive and disrespectful to their community if they don't like what they say. Game loop is drive here, loot things, (vehicle parts, food, etc.), drive there and rinse and repeat. 20 hours in and you've seen and done all there is to do. The road dead ends after 5,000Km. That's the game. Content is minimal. 14 vehicle types and 2 enemy types. Worthless enemies. Survival mechanics are pointless. Multiplayer too broken. Worthless. No updates in over a year now. Game is undergoing a rewrite (because lazy corner cutting). Lots of excuses along the way. Physics jank is very common and a broken mess. I would have wrote this on the board, but I got permabanned for having opinions. I have proof of the censorship. DM if curious.
