Key Revoked? Still don't have the game in your library? Read here.

Hey All,

All of the keys that were erroneously revoked have been restored, if you redeemed any Early Access key at any point you should be good to go. If not, please get in contact with us and we'll be sure to sort you out. We've got more information here: https://www.new.playdeadmatter.com/news/key-redemption-issues

If you had a Closed Alpha Key, these were revoked, this is normal for games that were in Closed Alpha. We made heaps of noise about this because we thought we revoked every single Early Access key but only around 1,000~ redemptions were directly affected by this.

So if you had a Closed Alpha key and now no longer have a key that's available to you, go ahead and grab a key via https://qi.games/ with instructions available here: https://github.com/QI-Software/qi-website-public

If you need help, contact details are in the post on our website or you can reply to this thread and /u/casadis will try and help you out.

Thank you for all of the patience on this one, we apologize for the frustration and we're here to help out everyone that needs to get their hands on a key.

Vein is kinda neat AND it's free in alpha rn!

I'm just grateful that publicly available code that was written for Vein was used to fix our elevators (and theirs).

Are you trying to imply that vein isn't better or worse than DM because you're both using publicly available code?

I'm seriously asking as it's unclear

Nah, every project uses open source code that's publicly available. Just by using Unreal Engine you're using dozens of third party libraries by a variety of authors.

Ok.

How do you feel the dead matter project is going ?

As a producer of a product and a consumer of other video games.

As a producer, it's a complete sh*t show. As a consumer, it's worth keeping your eye on but it needs to be more fun with friends.

If you could go back in time to before the sale of closed alpha keys, what advice would you have given then Nik?

What would you have told him to do differently ?

To listen to my gut and to be extremely cautious of those that feel the need to insist that trust be placed in them and those that demand far too much for where they're coming from. I'd also emphasize to take care of those that don't ask for much but deserve more than what you're able to provide.

That and to probably be less naïve about human nature, to build awareness of how with strategy the balance of power can shift within an organization, for better, or for worse.
