Windborne

Description

An extra copy of the game I had lying around in my inventory

Sadly the game has been pulled off from steam and the devs have announced that they will not be able to continue developing the game due to lack of findings. I was looking forward to this game.

That said, the (5?) copies of the game each owner of the game got [though there was some mention that not everyone actually got their copies :S] when the game development went down still apparently load into a rather playable version of the game. However, their supply has swiftly run out over the years, making them one heck of a collector's item by this point. Sadly, I don't think many of us are ever going to get the chance to play this game, in any state, just due to that scarcity. :(

I don't get which 5 copies are you referring to.
Anyway, I agree about most of never getting to play it. However, I am not really interested in playing the unfinished game either.

Every owner of Windborne will receive 5 copies of Windborne in their Steam inventory that they can gift to other players. The game will no longer be available to purchase, but it will continue to work online. Owners can gift the copies to their friends so that they can enjoy the game with others in multiplayer.

However, I am not really interested in playing the unfinished game either.

I'd hope that only people actually interested in giving it a try would be entering.. but disappointment is rather certain on such matters;
I'm sure some entrants are just after the collectability factor while likely even more are just entering because of the 0P entry or presently low entry count.

Oh wow. Didn't know about this. The devs are really awesome for doing this. And supporting online mode probably is gonna keep costing them if it's hosted online.

I understand your point. I would have entered had this been a few years ago. But I don't get much time to play games these days, so what little time I get, I'd rather play something else than an incomplete game that I might regret starting. I am not exactly a completionist, but I do like to try my best to do each and everything in a game. That's why I am certain that an incomplete experience is gonna disappoint even if I like the game. Heck, I get too worked up even about updates in games, reading all the change logs to make sure that none of the changes are something that I can't access in my current save file. I hate myself.

Honestly I am quite surprised there are so little entries for a 0P GA. There are just too many people here that are always looking to simply collect games. This is a perfect opportunity for them.

That announcement it s from 2015.
The thing of having 5 copies on your inventory, worked if at that date you already had the game in library, i sadly think.
Would be really awesome if adding now a copy to library gives you 5 in inv as well :)
Sorry for my bad English, hope i was able to explain correctly.

That should be correct, yes. Hence this line: "[the] supply has swiftly run out over the years, making them one heck of a collector's item by this point" in my original comment. :)
