As you know, the eventful The Day Before, which was released recently and became one of the worst games on Steam upon its release, has been removed from Steam. However, a surprising information emerged: The codes of the game are sold on the black market!
The Day Before codes are on sale for $300
According to a recent news, these code sites took advantage of the game’s removal from sale and started selling the game with a price tag between 233 and 304 dollars, several times more than its original cost.
The game quickly became one of the worst games in gaming history. A similar incident occurred in Hideo Kojima’s Silent Hill P.T., where only the demo was released. At that time, people offered the codes of the playable demo of the game for sale on eBay at absurd prices.
Why wasn’t the main character in GTA 3 talking? Developer announced!
As you know, Claude Speed, who we played in GTA 3, does not speak at all in the game. Former Rockstar developer explained why.
The Day Before has already become a collector’s item. Regardless, players are very reactive to this excessive pricing because even if you buy the code of the game, you cannot play it because the servers are down.
Code sites, which often operate as unauthorized game sellers, have come under scrutiny for such practices. It’s unethical to force players to pay such a fee for a game with a potentially limited lifespan.
The Day Before was released in early access on Steam just a few days ago but was quickly removed from the platform. Developed by Fntastic, the game encountered significant problems even in its initial form, including game-breaking bugs. Following its disastrous launch, Fntastic announced the closure of the studio, citing financial failure and lack of funds to continue the game’s development.
