You are just reinforcing the bad behavior by devs and publishers.
Why reward them twice for garbage development?

Why reward them twice for garbage development?
I know. I'm still interested in seeing the responses though. Just tallied up all of the first page. It's more for curiosity than anything else.
The fact that Iron Galaxy Studios worked on that as well cracks me up
I'm currently trying to get a refund from GMG, they denied me at first, but that was before the blog post went up, so fingers crossed
Edit: My ticket has been re-opened
Steam will obviously take the game away from your library but what about GMG? Can't anyone just claim that their game doesn't work and get their money back?
I'm surprised they did this. They have sold me non functional keys in the past and they were refusing to refund me even though I provided them with every possible piece of proof

Batman is a very big and important game, so I don't think we just have to make developers aware that we won't tolerate bad pc ports.
We should use this as an opportunity to put the whole bad port thing under the light, despite the platform.
It's non only an issue for pc gamers; everyone should be involved because this shit happens on every platform and it need to stop.

Unfortunately I got a code with my 980. I'm not really out anything, but there's no way to send a message.
I really just wanted the Witcher code, anyway.

You can still complain at nvidia.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
There's an official statement from GMG, you should get a refund if the game is still broken after the patch. And it will be broken, trust me.

I understand that folks can do what they like with their money, but it kind of stinks to see people buying the game twice despite the terrible port. Pretty obvious why this continues to be a problem within the industry. Put out a terrible product, don't worry, folks will just buy it for another system as well.

I emailed GMG, let's see what happens. If i get a refund I'll just buy the ps4 version

Steam just processed my refund request. I had a bunch of Steam Wallet credit, which is why I didn't go for the GMG discount like others did. Hopefully WB actually gets the game straightened out in the future.
I just asked GMG for a refund, the game is so broken it's unreal. I can't believe anyone could think this is fit for purpose for sale in the UK or anywhere in the world really. This really just makes me want to always buy directly through steam in future where I can get a refund a lot lot easier.
On a different note, I hope the reaction to this port has driven the point home to other publishers who release bad ports for pc that people aren't going to accept it, now more than ever, But I really doubt they'll care...

So you think buying PS4 games continually support bad PC ports?
The PS4 version is a good product, buy that product.

Maybe you misunderstood.
I think buying a game, receiving a terrible product that in some cases can't be refunded, then repurchasing that game a second time supports bad industry practices. Do I expect people to not buy the ps4 version at all? No, nor did I say that. But it still seems like buying the PC version only to buy it on ps4 right after only rewards the bad practice. Not saying don't buy it at all, but to buy it twice? It's whatever I guess, no wonder games continually release broken and buggy.
We as a forum need to keep tabs on what that studio works on so we know what to avoid.
I am giving them one chance - waiting for secret sauce patch. If it doesn't run like what was shown in game works video from Nvidia, then I'll process my refund through GMG. Also it's gonna be my last purchase from Warner Bros on both PC and PS4, unless that game runs as expected.
What email address did you send your email to? Never mind just saw your reply up top

gmg withholding refunds until the supposed miracle patch (which we know it's most likely going to take several over the course of weeks/months to fix it) is crap. can't people in europe get one immediately? unless i'm misreading
b-b-but I'm really a nice person, if ya get to know me..

Wow even GMG is saying they'll do refunds if it still performs like ass.
Is GMG Speedwagon now?

Complain to them anyway, maybe you'll get something out of it.

I get that it's a shitty port and the Steam reviews are the lowest I have ever seen, but what is the purpose of counting how many people get refunds? I don't understand what that is for. There are two threads at least where people are talking about how shit it is, counting refunds seems....childish, for want of a better word. Like you want a number to throw at the devs, but they will know how many people have had refunds anyway.
It's just for curiosity honestly. I'm also interested in seeing how many people on Gaf are actually willing to go through with the refund instead of just talking about it.

Unless a game is specifically designed for the pc it is always buy at your own risk. You all should know that by now. Developers do not have time or resources to perfect the game on consoles and also do some super duper pc version. Get real and be thankful the game even is on pc at all

Yeah, this is where I am.
Although I'd probably rebuy the game down the line if problems were solved and it was heavily discounted.
I will never buy a Warner Bros game at release again, though.

Wow what a brilliant strategy... release a broken game on PC so people can buy it again on console. WB is crafty! It's not an ethical strategy that I support but it seems to be working for them based on the responses in this thread.

Warner doesn't have resources to make a quality PC version? Are some of you guys Warner employees cus these comments are ridiculous.
Really dude? Good luck having anyone on Gaf agree with you here. Most people realise that devs have limited time/money - what they hope for at least is that the PC version gets farmed out to a competent contractor.
Also, when a game like The Witcher 3 sells 1.6m copies on PC within its first 2 weeks, we shouldn't be 'thankful' we got the game at all. Devs should want to do a good job so they can make a profit. Out of the 4m TW3 sold altogether, nearly half of that came from PC where the margins are higher.
