I was ripped off by Subnautica

I buy the game for 30 dollars expecting a great game because the graphics on the concept art sure as hell were good. I pull the game open to find a buggy open world where you can barely interact with the wildlife, all you could do was just swim through weeds, then caves, then pits, it was just not very captivating. I thought ok, it's in it's early stages it will get better. 1 month later, 2, 3,4,5, it stayed the same. On month 5 guess what? Subnautica is free now, so now, the game I spent 30 dollars on is free and there is now a dlc for the game and I still have to pay for it regardless of the money I spent on a now free game?

1: it was early access, so you knew you'd find a game with bugs and missing content.

2: the game offers everything it says. I don't know if you were hoping to ride a Leviathan into battle or something, but your own delusions not being met by the developer is your own issue.

3: where is the game free?

4: the game doesn't have DLC. It's a sequel.

it took years for Sub-N.. to go free, so if you bought it in early access.... it took way longer than 5 months before it went free, it took years

it took longer than 5months to work out the bugs they told you the game would have... and then a couple years of fantastic play - wasn't until last month Sub-N became free

Sub-Z ... isn't $30, ... and is not DLC... it is an entirely new game

buying one game from a company .. doesn't give you free acess to all other games made them them.

The game was free on HumbleBundle, if you downloaded it in a three month period.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ can't finish VR though before pumping us for more money. They prob won't finish the next one either before moving on.

OP is CRAZY.
Great finished game - seriously, Subnautica was the best EA experience I've had on Steam.

Complaining that a paid product was later given away for free is beneath even my Deadpool-esque level of immaturity; and I am famous (in my own mind) for blasting loathsome behavior by companies foolish enough to take my money without thinking they would get a piece of my mind. Go check my posts in X:Rebirth... I'm still blasting Egosoft for calling that "finished" and now recently releasing X4 in the same unfinished state.

1. EA is a poor excuse once you've been in development this long

2. is true. and the game is still being supported even, fixes and changes are in the experimental build.

Would the OP care to give a narration of their first few hours in a new survival run in the current build?

Oneword - Youtube
there are hundreds of vids on there about Subnautica, all the way from EA in 2014 to release in 2018, and during EA it wasnt $30, about half that. it was free in December to promote Epics new Launcher, Below Zero is not a DLC, its a standalone game.

Free on Humble Bundle for a period. And free until only just recently on Epic Launcher.

Perhaps you need to re-read what he said that and realize he might not be saying things so literally.

And to be frank, anyone would be outraged about the game being free if they had paid for it. And that'd be entirely fair for them to do so. So like, they bought the game because they wanted it, and therefore wanted to support the developer. And then they make it free to appease some dickish twits over at Epic. Anyone would be entirely within their right to criticize this, they paid for it. Just as you have the right to not care.

Also, Below Zero is a Standalone DLC/Expansion, not a full fledged sequel. It's the same planet, largely the same story, just a different scenic view.

That is, firstly by definition, not a sequel.
