The Day Before was an even bigger disaster than you thought: devs reportedly made to pay fines for bad work, learned it was an MMO from the trailers, and no one's sure where the bosses are (www.pcgamer.com)

The Day Before was one of last year's most utterly chaotic launches, managing as it did to build anticipation (and get a huge number of pre-orders) on the back of footage and promises that we now know were hiding the true state of the game.

On one hand, I want to see these guys face justice. On the other, if you pre-order a game from a basically unknown developer with only cinematics and promises, you probably deserve to be scammed. Hell, even gameplay videos have been faked. Just don't fucking pre-order ever. If they have enough of a game scraped together, they can do early access and I'm all for that.
