I liken the Leader board situation to this scenario:

I went down to the local store and ordered and paid for a Supreme Pizza. When I got it home and opened the box, it nothing on it except for Ham and Cheese.

So I ask the Pizza store Manager, what happened to the rest of my Pizza that I paid the full amount for and it was advertised to have the lot?

The Manager turns around and says, sorry pal, I pay the kid out the back to put all the toppings on but he just didn't do it, or forgot or didn't know how. The Manager further says, I can't tell you when I will put the extra advertised toppings on your Pizza, but I am working on it, just take a seat and wait for 6 hours whilst I try and get the toppings put on for you, but you are welcome to eat the pizza I already made for you.

Who would put up with that? Who would want some sort of rock solid concrete answer on what the fuck is going on or you would demand your money back or some sort of discount?
Who would ever shop at that Pizza shop again?

Not really... It's more like the delivery truck with the cheese never showed up. And the manager saying he's not happy with that delivery truck, so he's looking to maybe get a different one. Relic has very little control over Steam.

That's a pretty accurate representation.

Don't hype/advertise/promise what you can't deliver.

So was the original plan to get Steam leaderboards and Steam didn't deliver ?



That remains the plan. We're however working on an alternate plan with someone who I think will deliver something even better, and hopefully quicker. However even once that's up we'll still have the Steam Leaderboards planned as well.

That's good to know. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait.

I think it's pretty well known that Steam's slow to act when the product they're working on isn't a Valve game.

Dota 2 was in Beta for so many years =) I think Steam always acts slow no matter whose game it is

I suspect either do you. However, as the customer I don't give a flying fuck about what contracts the company has in place between other companies, I just want what I paid for and what the product I paid for was advertised to come with.

By buying a copy of CoH2, I did not buy shares in Relic or SEGA, so why should I care about what's going with them and other companies. We are just the customer, that's entitled to what we have paid for.

Then again as long as we "eventually" get what we paid for, that's ok, but I would expect some sort of compensation, like a free skin, free commander or at least something to show the customer that we are important, because without customers Relic and SEGA would have sweet fuck all.

Pragmatically, its our own fault for pre-ordering/purchasing before the product actually delivers its advertised description.

Legally, however, its false advertising and not delivering the promised product.

I'm not the one having a big cry because the big bad game developer didn't give me everything I wanted.
