Awesome. I've had my eyes on Surviving Mars for awhile, so it's awesome to be getting it here instead.
Kingdom Come is like the modern evolution of jank ass euro RPGs from the early 2000's
It's very fun if you're into that type of game.
It's a shame the director is a fuckboy

Yeah, same here. Dissapointed in so many people supporting bigots so openly here.
Choose to cancel and then it will give you the option to pause a month instead.
Just go to manage sub at the bottom of the monthly page.
First time I've done a pause. I'll be back the next month.
huh tempted to sub for a month, the only thing is that KCD has a royal edition on consoles that comes with all DLCs, but on PC there is no such version (yet?) and you have to buy DLCs. On the other hand on PCs I think there are mods and stuff that make the game better.
i guess i could just continue my current stance, be indecisive, wait, and in 3 months it'll be 75% on steam and prob a royal edition by then too
don't have surviving mars either so thats two stellar games for $12 plus whatever is revealed in a few weeks, really tempting
I think gamepass on PC is gonna force humble to step it up

Was playing Surviving Mars on PC Gamepass when I got the notification for this. I'm very happy that I now own it.
This allows you the own the game indefinitely though (if my understanding of these monthly bundles is correct). But yeah, understandable if you have three years of Game Pass saved up :p
Always wanted to try KC:D so nice!
I knew there was some reason I completely stopped caring about this game, but can't remember what the controversy was. What happened?
I'm guessing most People outside of die hard followers of the industry even know about the director and just know they are getting a good batch of games for pennies rather then paying full price. "Supporting" is a strong word when talking about buying a game for naff all.
The devs refused to put PoC in the game because "realism" and they didn't exist in Europe at that time (they did) but at the same time you can get shot in the face with an arrow and be fine.
Good article:
Deliverance: Myth-making and Historical Accuracy | Unwinnable
Making Henry believable is a process of selection—of sorting out what’s important to Deliverance’s designers and what isn’t. It reflects, in its own small way, their priorities.

Yeah it really sucks. I made the thread because I made the previous threads for the last 3 or 4 months so I did it out of habit.
But I wasn't pleased seeing Kingdom Come.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a pretty fun game from what I've played of it, I wish I had waited for the complete edition instead of just buying the vanilla version, though.
Well, paused a month and explained why
Sucks that I won't get my discount for the month, but a few bucks isn't going to make or break me and we just had (Still have?) a steam sale

Ah thanks! I see they are owned by THQ Nordic now also. So that's another reason not want to buy it.
You can pause at any time before the bundle is fully revealed, and you must not have redeemed the games early.
I would do kingdom come if I could choose for my money to go somewhere else but I can't, so gonna skip
Although of course, there's the chance that one of the mystery games I've gotten before was made by a jackass too, but at least in this case I know before hand

they're not supporting anything man. Theyre buying a game they want to play.
Buying a game is supporting the developers. Specially once the director of the game goes on record and lays out the philosophy behind the world view that is shaping the game.
If you want to go to the extreme with this you might as well stop buying anything because everything you consume supports biggots. I guess the difference is ignorance.
I mean it's great that you put your flag in the ground over this but shaming others for not doing the likewise is lame.
I avoided buying the game at release (and at full price) partly because of the director's comments, partly because I'm cheap and had a ton of other stuff to play. But I hear it's competently put together, either because of or in spite of him.
His role is bigger than with controversies like A Hat in Time, I suppose, and even threads about that always garnered posts from people trying to make others feel guilty for playing and enjoying that game.

This is idiotic. This "single individual" has a lot of control over the direction of the game. That's like saying people can't boycott Chick-Fil-A because only the owners are homophobic, or some shady company because of all the innocent janitors that work in their buildings.
I guess there's no absolutes with activism. People just do what they feel is right for them.
I refuse to frequent Chick-fil-A but I'm not bothered if others do. That's my choice alone.
On the flip side I'm a meat eater and fully aware and saddened by animal-product industry atrocities. But going vegan is just a bridge too far for my lifestyle.
We all make choices and do the best we can. I think it's best viewed and respected as a personal thing though.

You should probably stop buying games at all then, unless they're made by a small enough team that you can personally vet the political and social views of each team member to make sure they align with yours.
Any large AAA team is going have someone that has a bigoted, racist, sexist, misogynist, classist view or opinion about something, and whether it's a creative director, level designer or 3D artist doesn't really matter.
EDIT: FWIW, you can buy or not buy whatever games you want for any reason you want, I don't care. But being called a supporter of bigoted views for buying a game I enjoy that was made by dozens of people isn't fair.
