![]() ![]() It does not give me more respect for them. But still, I don't like it when people say they will do X, take money from people who are hoping they will do what they say, and then do not do X. Yes, yes, Kickstarter goals not a guarantee, yes, Proton works and all (although mileage varies-I've only tried to get things working on Proton a couple of times and I haven't actually been very successful so far). I'm not sure I'm massively enamoured with anyone involved. But it still pisses me of when companies take people's money by explicitly naming Linux version, then never even attempt to make a Linux build by using Proton excuse hence being scammer.Įdit: It turned out they did make Linux build Last edited by rea987 on at 7:02 am UTC I am aware that most people here goes for "nah, Proton works just fine, who cares native" approach. "We are small, use Proton and forget about promised Linux version" kinda attitude is disingenuous and does validate scammer accusation. Obviously an investment usually doesn't involve guaranteed returns but it does necessitate proper explanation why investee fails to provide promised gains. The investor is promised predetermined gains in return of investment. Let us define it as an "investment" in simplest terms. Kickstarter is no showcasing either as money is changing hands. You can still play it on Linux, without any problems I can see. Kickstarter should really be used if you like the game idea, not specifically the Linux side of it. And arguably with Proton, you still get the game. Kickstarter is never a guarantee remember, and only what the developers *hope* they will get to with the funding. Quoting: Liam DaweScammers? I wouldn't say so. ![]() I was due to review it for Linux desktop and Steam Deck, since Crytivo approved a Steam key, but it seems like it's going to be best to wait a bit on that.Įven though it's removed on Steam, you can still buy it on Humble Store. Update 15/05/23 - 19:23 UTC: after publishing this article, the developer announced a Native Linux build is in testing.Ĭhecking it out on desktop Linux, it works out of the box with Proton 8. Speaking to them on Twitter previously, they said:īeing a small indie team we've opted to do PC and Mac for now, and we've verified that the game runs well on Steam Deck using Proton, so we're hoping the Linux community can enjoy the game that way for the time being. This seems like a good time to also mention Soda Den won't be doing Native Linux support, which was part of their Kickstarter campaign. This led to Crytivo putting out their own statement where they explained that two days after release, Soda Den contacted them to "unilaterally rescind the contract we had worked under for three years, treating it as void". Especially since we don't know what's been said behind the scenes, and what their publishing contract actually contained. On the face of it, this could look like a publisher acting poorly but things are never quite that simple. We’re cautiously optimistic that Roots of Pacha will return to Steam very soon. We’re currently working on a roadmap and are excited to say it’ll be ready for you next month! We couldn’t be any more thankful for the overall reception of the game. While we work out our issues with Crytivo, we’ll continue developing Roots of Pacha with the same energy we’ve always put into it. Instead of working with us to address the issue, Crytivo went to Valve and authorized them to remove Roots of Pacha from Steam without our knowledge or consent. We worked hard to amicably resolve our issue with Crytivo internally. We are sad to report that we have been engaged in a dispute with Crytivo over the rights to Roots of Pacha. Writing in a statement on Twitter and also on their Steam Forum they said:Īs you may have noticed, the Roots of Pacha Steam page is temporarily offline. Now though, they're going to be losing out on likely a fair few purchases, since the Steam page has been hidden due to the dispute between Soda Den and Crytivo. Discover “Ideas,” domesticate crops, befriend animals, and contribute to the growth of your village." - it's basically a Stone Age version of Stardew Valley and it was reviewing very well too. Join friends in this farming and life simulation game set in the early days of civilization. What is the game? "Be a part of a thriving Stone Age community. Seems the indie team at Soda Den are having some issues with their publisher Crytivo, and their fight has caused Roots of Pacha to be removed from Steam for now.
