After placing the order, the player received a long-awaited package. At first glance, everything seemed fine: the package contained a game, but it was not the one he had ordered. To his surprise, the box contained a copy of Outridersa third-person shooter developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. What added to the confusion was that this copy of Outriders was in a box of the game The outer worldsa science fiction role-playing game developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Private Division.
