The Day Before Taken off Sale, Publisher Working with Steam to Issue Refunds to Anyone Who Wants One
After years of delays, overpromising, obfuscated skepticism, and a healthy dose of all around skepticism within the community, The Day Before finally launched in early access last week, and instantly, the game was met with widespread negative reception from players. Things only got worse from there, because just four days after the game’s release, developer Fntastic announced in a statement that the game had failed financially, and that the studio was, as such, shutting down.
Naturally, the absolute disaster of the game’s launch (coupled with its less-than-ideal pre-release marketing cycle) has left many who invested time and money into it a little displeased. However, it has been confirmed by both Fntastic and The Day Before’s publisher, MyTona, that the latter is working with Steam to issue refunds to anyone who wants one, regardless of how much time they put into the game.
“We are sorry for the fact that the game didn’t meet the expectations of the majority of the players,” MyTona wrote on Twitter. “Today we will work with Steam to open up refunds for any players who choose to make a refund.”
Fntastic wrote: “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.”
It’s worth mentioning, too, that there won’t be any further The Day Before sales, since the game was made unavailable to purchase on Steam shortly after Fntastic announced that it was shutting down.
