Game Pass' Humankind receives console delay, Sega issues refunds

Ace#4617 said:Interesting, thanks for your feedback; I do like Civ so that's a plus. Currently hooked on Medieval Destiny but will check out Humankind.

That’s a shame, would have given this a crack if the console version came out with working achievements. Ah well, one day perhaps.

Game companies can’t really use “due to the pandemic” as an excuse anymore so it makes their responses to delay announcements more interesting.

MR MITT3NS said:Honestly most games coming out are still games that had much of their development during the height of the pandemic (which isn’t really over btw), there’s no way trying to get multiple disciplines organized suddenly for mass remote work didn’t impact productivity for some departments and break timelines. In any complex software a broken timeline 2 years ago is still affecting you. The chances to “catch up” are generally non-existent as any saved time is immediately spent fighting current unexpected issues.

The industry parlance is “technical debt”, the idea being that it’s very costly to pay off and almost never is.

Not Jonni said:Well presumably, people preorder games physically so they will always have a copy, whether that means the game store has one for them, or it gets shipped. But there's no digital scarcity.

Thanks.

Didn't know a Windows version existed until now.

Don't care it it's not completeable, not staying that long anyway

Not surprising since they cant even be bothered to fix the achievements on the PC version. Yet another studio to ignore.

Jdobem said:No, the delay hit PS as well.

dakisbac said:It's because they are stupid.

I have not played the pc version yet but iv noticed it has 5 unobtainable achievements so why havent they fixed them since release before focusing on the console release

I was really looking forward to this one! Hopefully it isn't delayed too long.
