Okay, this game is as bad as its reputation suggests, however, I hate the fact that the major publications literally shit on games like this without mercy while games from the major publishers that were released in even worse states from a technical standpoint such as Assassin's Creed Unity and Batman Arkham Knight still get at least a 7. It's like attacking the local mom and pop store while giving a free pass to retail giants like Macy's who charge 60 bucks for shirts that were made in Bangladesh for 60 cents. :roll:

So the Potatos are finishing this game for their german Herren?
I didn't want to point out that "no neigh never/ The Wild Rover" is an irish drinking song, that was sang by The dubliners. But for our german speaking friends i have to point out where the germans have used the melody, because the german song is like the game:


Speaking of which, german "schlager" singer Roberto Blanco is appearently doing voice over for the game as street musician. Behold this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLk8RBlECsg

I'm sure someone will be a bro and play it so the rest of us don't have to.

When you realize the objective reality that journalist and whore are synonyms then things come into line more and you can get on with your life without the negative emotions.

Well, its been out for a day and the steam reviews are at 72% approval. Which is an improvement over the initial release, sooo...yay for them?

They didn't removed the Reality Pump DRM though, or at least the store page says the game has that.

Some suggest that it's banned by Steam because the publisher has been posting fake reviews: http://www.pcinvasion.com/topwares-curse-of-ravencry-removed-from-steam-false-reviews-likely-cause

It’s now thought that the game has been removed because publisher TopWare has been posting fake reviews which gave the game a 76% positive review score. This is of course against the rules of Steam and a very dodgy practice, especially when the game has been quite publicly slagged off by people unfortunate enough to have played it.

Metacritic’s user scores are down at 3.1, which is not always proof a game is bad, but in this case the user reviews are probably quite accurate.

TopWare has been accused of posting fake reviews in the past and there’s been plenty of evidence to show that the positive reviews are all coming on the same games from different individuals (shot 1 / shot 2).

The removal of Raven’s Cry is no loss to the PC gaming community but it has once again highlighted the problem of fake reviews on Steam games.

I guess the people who have written the reviews are probably related to the publisher but I can't see how that's a bannable offence. Just having overlapping games is hardly something uncommon. There could have been some sale going on as well with some topware bundle.

I suspect they had more information than that if they removed the game.

Considering the usual steam reviews, I really doubt that's the reason. There must be some weird shit going on behind the scenes, after all this company was on the verge of extinction not too long ago.

We have requested for Otherland to be moved to a different Steam Account.
Looks like Steam just got to do it and that's why Otherland is temporarly unavailable.
While I'm not directly involved in that process, I would guess that is should become available again by tomorrow.
Unfortunetly I am not familiar with the process, but I asked people involved in it to post here when they get online to provide more details.
I don't however believe the AppID will change since we as developers got no mention of that and a change in the AppID would also require some changes on our end.

Where were you when steam shovelware started killing itself?
