Earth: Year 2066
This game has been involved in controversy ever since it was released on steam. Currently the game has been removed by valve for violation the terms of the steam store for the reason of lying about certain aspects of the game which forced valve to offer refunds and Paul the game from the store. I'm using this game is a highlights show the worst of early access and how far a early access game can go to defraud its audience appears much money as possible.
The game was released on April 17th 2014 Steam store: Earth: year 2066 (2015) and this described as an action adventure survival game from its steam page. the game was released by the developers killing Day studios and this has been the only game the developers have published according to gamefaqs.
Earth: Year 2066 is a survival game in which he was the player are spawned into an environment which resembles a destroyed outpost in the middle of a desert. You as the player have to survive threats in the environment due to the poor developments of the game this was the only real game features just that the player can run around and fight threats that was no story or objectives introduced.
In terms of sales of the game not much information is available about the amount of units sold. This because of the Wikipedia page entry for this game and also the steam store page have been both deleted so is almost impossible to find the total sale figures.
In terms of the community opinion about the game this is impossible to know as when the game was taken down by valve from the steam store all the community reviews were also believe along with the bots there are still some articles and people that manage to review the game for was taken down. A review from a reviewer called Leif Johnson from the site game spot complained about the games current state saying that "You can experience the entirety of the game in 10 minutes tops" gamespot websites: Earth: Year 2066 early access review (2015) and complaining about the price tag of $20 to experience a game that has so little content. Many other review sites do not even have a score of the game as how quickly the game was removed most review sites tend to have ignored the game and only talk about its removal from steam.
. No goals: the game has no endpoints and no objective to complete meaning that players will wander around with no direction not knowing how to complete the game
. poor optimization: the game has a lot of stuttering issues in regard to frame rates though the graphics are not heavily intensive due to poor optimization and poor development
. not worth the cost: the cost of £15 for only a very small amount gameplay, poor graphics and very bad mechanics the cost is way too high for a game in the state
. 10 minutes of gameplay: with the small amount of landscape in the game which allows players to see all there is within 10 to 15 minutes and with a price tag of £15 this seems like a robbery.
. many bugs: along with its poor optimization the game consists of many bugs regarding enemies that some times will not notice the player and a lot of unbalanced issues and unrealistic mechanics in regard to enemies as well as crashing on menus and frame issues
In summary Earth: Year 2066 is apparent that the game was trying to scam people out of their money by offering them something that could be put together in a week or two and it is good that steam remove this game from the store is not only does it shed a bad light on early access it also is conning people out of their money by lying to them. I hope this developer and this game will be held up as an example of some of the worst, or the early access and all your mind communities to be wary of developers.

Good points
Being honest about this game it is probably one of the worst early access games to ever be released. With no story no objectives, bugy gameplay, developers that don't care and a hefty price tag it's fair to say that there are not any good points about this game.
Bad points
Inside the final point to start the scheme listing all that bad points because of the amount there are from the developers lying about their game to the game must be improved in with bad UI and hazy instructions that leaves the plain confused quickly some over some of the bad points this game has.. No goals: the game has no endpoints and no objective to complete meaning that players will wander around with no direction not knowing how to complete the game
. poor optimization: the game has a lot of stuttering issues in regard to frame rates though the graphics are not heavily intensive due to poor optimization and poor development
. not worth the cost: the cost of £15 for only a very small amount gameplay, poor graphics and very bad mechanics the cost is way too high for a game in the state

. many bugs: along with its poor optimization the game consists of many bugs regarding enemies that some times will not notice the player and a lot of unbalanced issues and unrealistic mechanics in regard to enemies as well as crashing on menus and frame issues
In summary Earth: Year 2066 is apparent that the game was trying to scam people out of their money by offering them something that could be put together in a week or two and it is good that steam remove this game from the store is not only does it shed a bad light on early access it also is conning people out of their money by lying to them.
