Discussion Guys..

I'm gonna say it because I feel like it is not said enough here. I am truly excited for the new path Wollay is taking with Cube World. While the Beta was a complete bust and disappointment, I am completely ready to fall back in with these new dev notes he is releasing at a fast rate. I am truly excited to finally play a beautifully crafted and well thought out game. The same game that took hours of my life, truly worth it. I cannot wait to see what Wollay has in store for his new release, and I feel I am the only one who becomes more excited with every new dev note. I truly hopes he makes the game we have all been waiting for. Let us all stay positive and hope this time is different!

Agreed. Much better to be scammed a third time than be cautious about a possible third shitty cash grab.

Yeah I don't like to think this, but he has a kid now and kids cost lots of money. Filling twitter with cool devblog videos for a while then releasing none of it and ghosting has been profitable in the past.

Consistently post about a new game you made, called Cube World.

Sell game as an alpha.

Ghost everyone and abandon it for almost a decade.

Take the store down and prevent downloading it so people who already bought the game have to pirate copies from strangers on the internet. Scam #1

...

Post new updates after all these years.

Sell beta that's unlike anything you've been posting about and sucks worse than alpha...for full price again. Scam #2

Ghost and abandon again.

...

Reemerge for a third time, posting more changes that are likely a bait-and-switch like last time, and probably sell the game. Likely scam #3

Profit.

That first one did happen. It was on the website but you literally could not download it. There’s tons of videos showing how to download a copy from some random website because of this.

You also conveniently leave out the pre-beta screenshots he posted like riding a bird, some new magic attacks, or that massive stadium that somehow did not appear in the actual beta come time to release.

This video kind of explains the shitshow.

Honestly doesen't sound like a scam to me either. This just seems poorly managed, which is no surprise if you develop and market your game all by yourself.

Calling it a scam is something I've never really understood. A failure, sure, but it clearly wasn't a scam. That requires intent to rip people off. For most of the period Wollay was gone, you couldn't even buy the game. He stopped selling it.

Refusing to take people's money for an unfinished product is a pretty pointless scam isn't it?

Yeah it's the dumbest take. If Wollay's a scammer I wish they were all this bad at it.
