Development Status of Medieval Life: Medieval Life is currently in development, and all information provided regarding the game, including its features, content, release dates, and gameplay, is subject to change. By placing a pre-order, you acknowledge that the game may evolve during its development, and the final product may differ from what is currently shown or described on our website, Discord server, or other communication channels. There is no guarantee that the final version of the game will meet your expectations, as the game’s development is ongoing, and unforeseen changes may occur.
  2. No Guarantee of Release Date: While we anticipate releasing Medieval Life by Q4 2026, this is a tentative timeline and subject to potential delays. Game development is a complex process that can be affected by various factors, including financial resources, technical challenges, and other unforeseen circumstances. Wasted Potential Studios LLC does not guarantee that the game will be released on or by the projected release date. By pre-ordering the game, you acknowledge and accept that delays are possible, and no refunds will be issued based on delays.
  3. No Warranty of Final Product: Medieval Life is being offered as a pre-order with a Steam key provided for access upon release.

By participating in these early stages or pre-ordering the game, you acknowledge that the game may contain bugs, incomplete features, or changes that could affect your gameplay experience.
  4. Risk of Development Failure: Although we are committed to completing Medieval Life, there is a risk that the game’s development may be delayed indefinitely or cancelled due to financial constraints, technical difficulties, or other unforeseen circumstances. Wasted Potential Studios LLC is primarily self-funded, and your pre-order contributes to the ongoing development of the game. In the event that we are unable to complete the game or deliver a playable version by 2030, we will explore options to offer a depreciated refund or other alternatives at our sole discretion, but this is not guaranteed.
  5. No Refunds for Redeemed Steam Keys: Once you redeem the Steam key associated with your pre-order, you forfeit the right to request a refund through Wasted Potential Studios LLC. Any requests for refunds after redeeming the key must be directed to Valve, subject to their refund policy. Wasted Potential Studios LLC will not be responsible for facilitating refunds once the key has been redeemed, and you agree to follow Steam’s refund process for any issues related to the key or game access.
  6. Digital Goods and Services: The pre-order you are purchasing consists solely of digital goods, including the Steam key and access to Medieval Life once it is released.
