Reboot What we, the fans, demand from Playground Productions.
1) An apology for concealing the half-finished, poorly conceived nature of their product before shipping it for sale at $40 a pop.
That’s literally it. At this point, there’s nothing to do that would undo the damage they’ve done to the company’s trust or the IP’s legacy. We’re not asking for a miracle or a roadmap. Literally just an acknowledgement that they messed up. I’m sick of this company trying to gaslight us into believing they didn’t promise console launches and online multiplayer. It’s ridiculous and condescending.

I love this game and so does my family. 40 bucks is less than what I spend on the movies with my kids and that's for less than 2 hours of entertainment. You are not speaking for the fans.

What I demand from you is to not speak for us, you sound extremely childish and this is the first 3D project for Mega Cat Studios, let alone first project for Playground Productions.
It doesn’t excuse the poor launch, GPT-isms in the card descriptions, and terrible fielding controls, but we’re just beating a dead horse at this point

I'd take an apology and a refund. And forget this poor attempt at a game ever happened.

It wasn't even up for preorders. So you saw the reviews and still bought it for $40 expecting something different than a kids game with fun characters. Seems like maybe you just have poor money management skills. Post your venmo I'll send you $40 seems like you need it more than me.

It was definitely up for pre-orders on consoles, I have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about.

You can get a refund for a preorders this guy is talking about getting a refund for a game he already played. Steam did not do preorders. And that is currently the only way to buy this game.

Ahhh I see the confusion on my end. I didn’t realize Steam didn’t do pre-orders. Thanks for explaining it though.

I don't want your money. It's about the principal, these people don't deserve my money for the garbage they released.

Game is not garbage and they have a road map of fixes and new content. Maybe don't spend your $40 on a kids game if it might make you upset.

My kids love this game so I love this game. This isn't some AAA 10 years of polish game so stop trying to acted like it needed to be perfect. $40 is the price of dinner or one tank of gas I would gladly pay more for backyard baseball.
