Wait, but if they pulled the game from Steam shouldn't the owners still keep the game (DLC in this case) on their libraries?

They refunded people, which probably removed the DLC from their libraries. People who bought the ultimate edition kept it.

That can happen? I wasn't aware developers could literally remove a game from your Steam library, if so that's really shitty and scummy.

Well, they refunded it, so people got their money back. But it sucks that it breaks peoples save files.

I guess, but so the owner chose to get a refund, right? If so then that's to be expected, if that's the case then I don't see what the fuzz is about. Unless the refund was forced onto the customer.

The refund was forced. Players didn't choose it.

Well then my opinion stands, that's pretty shitty. The choice to refund should ultimately lie with the customer not with the company.

I think the refund would have been right to do from the company side once everything was prepared - it wouldn't be right for them to keep any money from customers after the content has been integrated into the base game. But only once they are sure nothing will break due to the refund.
