Merchants of Brooklyn alpha confuses Steam

Paleo update download platform with 'proper' code

Developer Paleo made the mistake of inadvertently launching the alpha version of new shooter Merchants of Brooklyn onto Steam last night - when the final version of the new game should really have been the code made available.

Unfortunately, a number of eager Steam users accidentally bagged the wrong version of the game, before the mistake was realised, prompting angry complaints about the quality of the release. The final version of the game is now available.

"Unfortunately, the incorrect version went up on Steam," a Paleo spokesperson admitted on the game's forums.

"The alpha version was released initially, this has been corrected. Please log in/log out of Steam to receive the correct version of M.O.B."

Merchants of Brooklyn is a new shooter; and not too shabby it looks, either. More shortly.
