Just one day after its global release, Alien: Rogue Incursion, a virtual reality title set in the world of Alien, has become the subject of controversy. The controversy is specifically related to a stealth update to its Steam storefront, which revealed that Rogue Incursion is part 1 of two planned games.
As the VR content creator shared on Twitter, Rogue Incursion's Steam page had previously made no mention of a planned sequel. However, it has been updated to reflect that this game is now a two part series.
After this update, its developer Survios was accused of deceptive business practices. As a result, the game fell to “Mixed” on Steam, with one review calling the game “Scam of the Year”.

The official Survios Twitter account has responded to several accounts, detailing their plans for both games in addition to defending their practices.
In one particular response, Survios had this to say when accused of cutting the game in half to squeeze out two products:
We didn't cut anything in half. Part 1 is really built as a standalone game, with Part 2 continuing the story and escalating the experience.
At the time of writing, a larger statement does not appear to have been released. Rather, Survios' attitude is reflected in the responses on social media. It's also unclear if Day 1 supporters will have any perks.
