Important Update

Hi all,

We came across a serious issue, and I have to ask Valve to help us out.

True or False Universe was always supposed to be a personal gift for those who have supported previous games in the series. I've developed it on my savings and neither got any money from players for it, nor planned to do so. I have no plans of monetizing the game as free-to-play application or releasing any paid DLCs for it, because you, players, keep asking me not to do so.

Now I'd like to ask Valve to change the game's price from free to paid, with the price set as $1.99. I am sure the same players would have nothing against the game being non-free for the new players. It will also allow me to focus on my work on update for those who already owns the game.

I hope that this action should resolve the problem described below. If this is impossible due to some restrictions, we're consider taking the game down from the Steam Store despite all the hard work we put in it.

One of the frequent requests is still to add more content to the game quickly and for free. I understand that I should treat this as valuable and important feedback, so I kept politely asking people to post their suggesions on forums.

What is worse, the game has started attracting players who are ignoring most of its content and overall gameplay experience. My friends has told me that many of those players are "easy free 100% achievement completionists" who aren't actually interseted in trivia games. And that some of them might requesting me to add the features which would allow them to automate getting achievements in the game with bots - here I mean automated software for scripting through the game's walkthrough, since this is basically exploiting the game and clearly not the way game was supposed to be played. This whole situation is starting to be a some kind of black mail hurting the experience of the most of the players.

My attitude towards those who love achievements and getting 100% is neutral, but I want this certain issue to be resolved as soon as its possible.

Please carefully read my explanations and do not go straight to writing reviews. We understand that you have one specific issue, but in our case you're essentially asking me to provide more free content in the game. This is already strange because the game has lots of questions, it's the biggest game in True or False series. We will deliver expected changes in the upcoming update for the game.

This is a serious problem which should have been taken care of. In any case, no one will lose their game copy, progress or achievements they have earned via playing the game, so please do not worry about anything. We always want you to have the best experience.

If you need any more details, please read further explanations in the comments to this post.

Thanks for understanding.

Best regards,
Vladimir
