Fuck it,i can still play the original version of i have it right?

They dare to do this for a game that came out in 2011???
And they dare to lie to the Steam community???
How about no, I'll stay with the good developers who stay with their promises... They earn the money.

I might have tried out the director's cut if it was free. But now I think I'll just play Portal 2 again.

(good luck beating that narrative)

What is a director's cut anyway?

I hope noone will buy another game for these greedy and lier developers.

wat a fcuking yoke

So if i already have qube + agaibst the qlock should i buy this?

hahaha oh man, sorry, but fuck them. it was painfully obvious that q.u.b.e was an unfinished game, they said 'we'll hook you up with the fixed version for free' but now its 5 BUCKS?! ha ha ha ha no.

I've played QUBE up to the level where you're in darkness. That was kind of a pain, so I haven't gotten past it. The game wasn't bad, but I don't think I'm going to buy a director's cut. If it were free, I'd probably have given it a shot. But since it's not and I haven't even finished the original game (don't have the DLC either), I don't think so.

What might have helped in this case is if their original message said something like, "We plan to make the Director's Cut free" instead of it "will be free". That would have left open the possibility of things change. Instead, it looks like they went back on their word.

Shitstorm incoming ... this would not be the first devs to change his mind and either give a better discount or upgrade existing customers for free.

We'll see ...

oh, I got it from a bundle. Maybe that's the reason they don't want to give it free.

that's sad... Q.U.B.E looked interesting. i was going to buy it at some point, seems like i won't now.

not bothered for the re-release (well, that bothers me, but gaming industry seems to take this way now) but at least give a heavy discount to your original customers (like Strike suit people did, with the permanent %85 OFF, with all the DLCs included [and also you can buy the old game too]).
People would not be so mad if they never said that the thing was going to be free in the first place, the "No shady marketing, we hate that" part make them look like real douches.

so i bought a game and i cannot play it .. awesome :\

Wish Steam had a blacklist so I could block developers from whom I don't want to see any games.

maybe its their tactic - get some attention

Sometimes I don't think most indie devs don't follow the news about what happens to other indie devs when they try to pull stuff like this...

And the original Q.U.B.E is in the Indie Royale bundle today. Another cash grab from the dev, getting users into the older game and charging them for the update.

And that's why you should never make such a promise

I feel like this would have turned out much better had they not decided to wait until release to let us know they went the opposite direction with their original plan of it being free.

Just remember to add the tag that best suits the game, so we can all have a category for it.

So glad I never got around to buying this, but then again, I never did get how Portal or all the Portal-esque games were that fun anyhow.

This is becoming way to common and is just a kick in the groin to people that already own the game...blatant money grab... no excuses. If you have more content, add it to the game for free or as DLC not re-release the entire game and try to get people to re-buy it.

Oh, don't worry there's more to come - No Time to Explain is being remade on Unity. Dear Esther too, so I've heard. I suppose they're gonna pull the same thing, despicable especially for NTtE makers - like many others I can't even play it in it's current state, it runs so horribly.

I guess some devs are just gonna remake the same game over and over till the end of their days because they are too incompetent to create something new. Maybe it's time to change line of work.
(here's some space to throw jokes about AAA creators doing exactly the same thing)
