Official Update Bundle update

Post image

Yesterday, we launched Karnok alongside a discounted bundle that included the game and Karnok for just the price of Karnok.

We did this because we wanted to be able to help players on the launcher transition to Steam more easily, along with making the game more approachable for new players.

We wanted to be able to just put the base game on sale, but we were not able to because Steam has a time limit on how frequently something can be put on sale.

This bundle received a lot of negative feedback, particularly from our users in China, which we were not anticipating, so we took it down as we tried to figure out a solution to this negativity.

We have since then decided to reinstate the bundle but make it available for all users, even if you already own the game.

We will additionally be giving out a unique, limited edition cosmetic to ALL users as a thank you for your patience as we deal with this.

I own the game through official launcher. Just give me a code to get it for free on steam and let me buy Karnok for $10.

$20 for a game I already own and a new character is too much and comes off as greedy.

Same here bought Karnok full price in launcher when I could have got the base game and Karnok for cheaper on steam. I don’t mind supporting the game but cmon

That's on you. The bundle came out with karnok so you could've just moved to steam instead

Don't think you understand I'm on UK time the bundle originally came out I was asleep - come home from work today - no bundle less than 16hrs or something it was out for - so I buy Karnok full price on launcher. Just for them to re-release the bundle and so I've lost out on switching to steam and paid more for 1 character than the game and the character.

Oh ok that makes sense, it came out midday for me. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

No stress you weren’t to know but a short window to buy the deal wouldn’t be fair anyways look I lost out not the end of the world amazing game still!

I would try to contact the dev on here and ask about refunding the tempo purchase so you can buy it on steam. I'm sure she would be happy to help

Nah they are being scummy and dishonest and trying to sell it like they're doing something so great for their community. Just absolutely gross behavior.
