I'm not being a drama queen... I honestly don't care about SG, but I admit it kinda astounds me how people defend this guy... but hey, you know what? You're right, whatever float people's boat... some people waste their money on thots, some people waste their money on shady AVN devs... no difference in the end... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Personally I'm just gonna check this S1 release strictly for the purposes of updating that list I keep (same with WIABS1), but after that I'm not touching this thing any longer because I don't really care about the story and a lot of devs are doing some fantastic visuals now (some are even getting better than Ocean, tbh), which was like my only reason for checking SG out.

I hope you guys enjoy it tho.
I know what you mean I been seeing some games I consider better looking than SG last few months or close to it at least. Only thing that keeps me here is the characters not the story.

I always thought that Summer's Gone would appear in upcoming releases from Steam but nothing... I have seen many less famous games that I tried here, why is that? Now that Ocean has set a date, should it already appear here?.

Store page hasn't been updated with the release date. If its still unlisted its because thats the popular upcoming page and SG isn't popular.

By the way, a small question about music. As far as I remember, many developers have encountered this problem. But what’s interesting is that nothing seems to have changed in Badik over the last year. How is it that this problem did not affect it, despite the abundance of sex scenes?
Perhaps because DPC now only make deals with artists who sign an agreement to let him use their music in his game?

Ahhh and so now we finally understand why it's sooo important he didn't lose his precious licenses... $$$.
Right, most people work for money, they want to be well paid for their work, and they don't like losing their investment.
Some lucky people, like Ocean, can also turn their passion into a source of income.

Are you a volunteer working for free?

The people who buy the music dlcs obviously want to support the dev and for him to get a cut. Otherwise they just can buy the music from the artist.
That's right, I wouldn't even know about these bands if their songs weren't in Ocean's games. Well, maybe, except for Grace Mesa, she seems to have appeared in all AVNs :)

And if I buy their tracks, I'll buy them as part of the Summer's Gone playlist.

But yes, you are!

However... and from here on this post is intended to be understood in general, not addressed to you personally. The vast majority of the so-called "concerned" people do not take into account important things. For example, they project their own "concerns" onto everyone else; define their own opinion as the general truth; if someone disagrees with them, that person is stupid, ignorant, naive, asslicker, etc.

I've never liked being told what to think about a certain thing, what opinion I can have about something. I can decide on my own, without external help, whether what I paid for - be it a book, music, film or an AVN - is good or bad, I made the right decision or the wrong one. After all, I spend my money as I see fit. This is a personal opinion, but comments that seem generic are almost always made by people who have close to zero interest in the matter at thing.

It's a big area to cover. If people are genuinely interested in why music costs money, google UMAW (United Musicians & Allied Workers) as they'll give you the breakdown for why musicians have been raped and pillaged by streaming. It's absolutely fucked what spotify has done to musicians. the majority of artists will never even break even on spotify, or with releasing music because spotify has made people assume music is free. It costs far more to record than most people realise.

In regards to what Ocean is doing, releasing a DLC soundtrack is pretty common on steam/GOG. Yes, it is a cash grab, but he is being pretty darn generous by the terms for the musicians, who can't sell on steam in their own right. He's acting as distribution and taking all the marketing on the platform. So as far as cash grabs go:

- Everyone can hear the music in SG without paying.
- No one is forced to buy a playlist to play SG, it is completely optional at the buyer's discretion.
- If you buy the playlist, you are not unlocking any extra content in SG.
- If you buy the playlist, it is purely because you wish to own a copy of the music you can play wherever you want, without being connected to the internet.
- When you play SG, the music is licensed, so depending on the deal, the musicians get no royalties (high license price) because there is no mechanism to determine how many plays are involved. Buying the SG playlist allows the artists to get something extra, which Ocean didn't have to do. Otherwise they're back to earning less than half a cent per stream on spotify.

Why would Ocean give the musicians extra after buying expensive licenses to use their music? Building a loyal business connection so they don't screw him over.

But even simpler - everyone here has their own cash grab, it's called doing work or being on benefits.

So someone said that in steam version there will be no nude scenes. Is it true?
Bro, just develop a habit for your own good, not to take on faith anything that is written on the forum. :KEK:

Ocean spent several years here, clearing up rumors and bullshit about his game, and failed miserably. :HideThePain:
Just ask yourself why Steam made him tag his game with "Frequent Nudity" if it doesn't have any nude scenes?

Ocean set a release date of May 10th and your view only goes through May 7th.

It may also take Steam a day/few days to update their 'upcoming releases' to reflect newly approved creations once their dev's provide a release date.

Cheers!! :coffee:

At the risk of actually going off topic for real this time... bro, you're doing the same thing, so let's not get on any high horsies mkay?

Well, that's what I said, ain't it? People are free to spend their money however they please, you don't need to justify shit to me or anyone else... s'all good (y)

I still have my opinions, but I already posted them... no point beating a dead horse.


Are you a volunteer working for free?
Oh and by the way... why yes, I do work for free sometimes... In fact, I also keep a recommendation list that I do for free just 'cause I feel like it... now, is it a TON of work? Not really, but work is work, ey? Anyhoo, thanks for asking =)

Unless your actual name is 'nobody' - your statement is false - there are people who Do care about the music.

I happen to be one of them, I am a paying supporter and I Always encourage Ocean to pursue music if He feels it will add to Summers Gone.

I feel like the music is a Major add to Summers Gone, it helps with immersion and sets the tone for different scenes, and I have multiple SG playlists that I enjoy wherever I travel.

As nice as it is to try to speak for 100% of the people who have tried Summers Gone - better to just go with:

IMO - it is your opinion and you are entitled to it, just like each one of us!

FYI - The licensed music Ocean pursues is not FREE.

Free describes your download on F95.

It does not, for example, describe the cost of electricity, hardware, software, or the music that Ocean uses for Summers Gone.

Cheers!! :coffee:
It literally blows my mind even to this day that in the year of 2024, people still don't know how the internet works. It IS actually FREE.
All you have to do is use your friend google and "download free music" or whatever. It's that simple. Suuuure music is part of the game or any game but you really don't have to throw ridiculous amounts of money on something that MOST people don't really care that much.

Nice save, but you get my point. :)
Anyway, I don't want to bore you and myself with continuing this convo, besides it will inevitably go off topic.

But what I'm curious of. Do you like anything at all about this game? Well, certain characters, dialogue, maybe some storylines.
