Surviving Mars

The game itself was fun, but expecting us to pay another $40 for the same game with patches is crazy.
"Relaunched" = give us money you stupid consumers.

Surviving Mars: Relaunch: re-purchase the same game again. PASS. Spend US$40 for an updated game from Paradox? PASS. I can't seem to create a review on the relaunched store page because I don't own it. I don't own it because I won't pay for it. This original "is no longer available on the Steam store" - PARADOX, why must you be the worst?
I'll keep my buggy (?) one (honestly, i don't think I witnessed any bugs, it is a sim that you need to keep massive numbers of colonists busy and happy, I see no problems).
It doesn't really matter recommended yes or no; the original this review is being left under is a YES (that cannot be purchased any more), the relaunched is a hard NO.

Leaving a positive review for this one. It is a great game. But closing this one down forcing me to buy a new copy of the same game in order to keep getting updates? Super-greedy bad dev behavior. I had much higher thoughts on Paradox.

Every now and then when I'm feeling low, this game really helps out, in a way no other game I've found can. It's gonna be hard, guys. Really hard. Keep it up.

This is such a great game, however who in their right mind forces people to pay additionally for a relaunch? it's like saying hi this game just received a standard update that is required to improve the game and content, lets charge them for this. what kind of moron does this to their community? why don't you just make it available as a major update to the original game for the players who have been supporting this game or atleast have the decency to to provide a reasonable fee, not a full priced relaunch game. As most gamers know that it takes skills, talents and resources to develop games and they are happy to support this. This is just unethical by all means and obviously does not care about the supporters for a great game.

Landed on Mars full of ambition and caffeine. Built my first dome, forgot oxygen. They all suffocated with positive morale. Immersive.
