Now if we can only get them to spend as much time fixing the bugs and
making it look something like the game they promised at E3 as they
have writing self-congratulatory attaboys-to-me notes.

Joyfully, Steam enacted it's refund policy just in time for me to
shitcan this game and send it back to the oven to bake a while and
pick it up on a ten dollar special later.

I used to be a fan of the Witcher series.  I hope I can say that again
one day.
