This situation, from the initial complaint through to the apparent resolution, is absurd and strange. There were no winners here (besides customers getting extra stuff on Intel's dime, I guess?).
That said, I think this is a time that the title can stand to be summarized. Something like "'Arizona Sunshine' game locks game modes to i7 CPUs only"? Probably could be better than that.
- Bartweiss 10y agoThis seems like a pretty clear breakdown of HN's "original title" policy. The title here only makes sense in the context of a game-specific Steam forum, and provides no real information out of context.

Well, since they advertised that the mode was available and it actually wasn't for a significant portion of users, I would say every person who purchased the game and doesn't have an i7 won by getting access to the content they were sold without having to wait three months. Steam devs get called out on this fairly regularly, to the point where I'm surprised any product that isn't just milking early access tries it anymore.
