Postal 3 devs say \u201crest in piss\u201d to their game and tell players to pirate it Postal: Brain DamagedFollowing some DRM issues that forced Postal 3 to be delisted from Steam, Postal creators Running With Scissors have held a \u201crest in piss\u201d celebration and have told fans to pirate the title. Postal 3\u2019s development cycle was troubled to say the least. The game\u2019s reception upon release was mixed at best, with critics citing bugs and game-breaking glitches as being something that marred the overall experience. Postal creators Running With Scissors outsourced Postal 3\u2019s development to a Russian publisher and developer according to a Steam forum post from Toploader, a developer at RWS at the time. It was decided that removing Postal 3 from sale was in the \u201cbest interest of the Postal Community\u201c, something clarified in another forum post. It was since re-published on Steam in late 2021 by Akella, the publisher that originally worked with RWS, and had DRM issues that made the game unplayable upon purchase. With it being removed from Steam once again due to these issues, the developers have celebrated P3\u2019s death in an unconventional way. Postal 3 developers tell game to \u201crest in piss\u201d Postal is a game series known for its dark, crude humor and over-the-top protagonist. There are very few games that give you a piss button, but, in the Postal series, it\u2019s a feature. That said, Running With Scissors clearly wasn\u2019t too keen on how Postal 3 came out. Being pushed to the point of removing a game with their name on it from being sold back in 2012 speaks volumes for their opinion on the title. When asked in a tweet thread if they\u2019d be willing to remake the game, they replied, \u201cNo we\u2019re good. Games are expensive and we\u2019d rather not rehash that horrible moment in time.\u201d Now, to celebrate Postal 3 being de-listed for a second time, Running With Scissors has celebrated the game\u2019s death with the \u201cRest In Piss P3 Celebration\u201c. With a few middle-finger mouse clicks and a very suspiciously tinted headstone signifying Postal 3\u2019s sendoff, these devs can say goodbye to a game that, as they stated earlier, was a \u201chorrible moment in time.\u201d They replied \u201cYes\u201d to a tweet from someone asking if they could pirate the game, and have also put out a quick statement in regards to other means of getting the game. \u201cYes, we are completely aware there\u2019s other \u201cmethods\u201d to get Postal 3, but at least people won\u2019t be tricked on Steam to buy this shiiieeeet.\u201d Postal 4 and Postal: Brain Damaged have since been released by the developer, both of which have had much better critical and fan reception than the third game in the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
