Dark Matter was recently released on Steam for the low price of $15. Unfortunately, it seems as though that low price also comes with what could be the worst game ending of all time. The game ends completely abruptly (you enter a door of no particular significance and then you get a fade to black with a JPG with centered white text that tells you how the game ends) and there’s no intent to finish the game or update it and it’s not released as Early Access or episodically.
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.

Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
This is something IMO that every gamer should be mindful of. With more and more independent titles coming to steam, xbone and ps4; There needs to be much more screening of these titles before they are published on these respective platforms.
Well on one hand it's unforgivable, but on the other hand funding ran out. This is a problem that we will continue to see with over ambitious projects that get little funding.
it may be, but dev responded that he will add ending in a future
Kinda reminds me of Doom, but in this case its an unfinished game. Who would put their name on an unfinished game? I wouldn't..... if you have respect for yourself and future fans, you shouldn't either. No matter the excuse.
