changedDear Warriors, As CEO of Grindstone, I want to personally apologize on behalf of our entire development team! We recently released Die by the Blade, and after your feedback and reviews we have realized that unfortunately the game is not in the state it should be. We understand your frustration and disappointment, and we deeply regret any inconvenience we have caused to you all. Die by the Blade has been in development for five years by a small, dedicated team and it was a very long and complicated journey. Somewhere along the way, we lost objective insight and made the very poor decision to release Die by the Blade fully instead of opting for Early Access on Steam. We didn’t want to fail our Kickstarter backers and community by delaying the full release again and now we realize how poor decision we’ve made. We well deserve all the negative feedback and reviews we’ve received so far. If we could revert our decision, we would launch Die by the Blade into Early Access, gather your valuable feedback and make necessary improvements before a full launch. Unfortunately we can’t change already released game to Early Access but we still believe in Die by the Blade original idea and we are committed to work hard to make things right. We are preparing the updates and fixes to address the issues you've encountered and your suggestions. Your feedback is invaluable, and we encourage you to share your thoughts with us so we can improve the game together with you and bring you the game you deserve. If you want to be part of the process, we would love to talk with you on Discord and listen to your feedback to help us to deliver the quality experience you all deserve. Feel free to contact the development team and me directly on Discord , here on Steam or LinkedIn and/or you can meet the development team at many events, including Gamescom, Digital Dragons, Game Access and others. Thank you for continued support! Yours, Peter Nagy CEO Grindstone
