Sunborn Network has finally pulled back the curtain on Bakery Girl's Steam debut — March 22 launch, ¥98 for the base edition and ¥218 for the deluxe, both at a 15% launch discount (roughly ¥80 and ¥178 respectively). The moment the news hit NGA forums, the community reaction can be summed up in one word: seriously?
The first commenter kept it measured: "Base at ¥98, deluxe at ¥218, 15% off at launch — pricing seems steep for now." But by reply #2, things escalated fast. A player fired off: "If Sunborn dares to list it, I dare to drop a negative review. Dethroning Three Kingdoms Kill isn't just a dream." For context, Three Kingdoms Kill (三国杀) is the legendary king of Steam's worst-rated games — so invoking it as a target shows just how deep the resentment runs.
What followed was essentially a community-organized "review-bomb SOP workshop." Comment #3 asked in earnest: "Is there a way to leave a negative review without actually buying it? Or do I buy it, review it, then refund?" By comment #12, someone had written out the full playbook: "Buy → review → the classic Yuzhong copypasta as the review text → refund." And comment #13 helpfully added: "Reminder to everyone planning the buy-review-refund pipeline: DON'T FORGET TO ACTUALLY HIT REFUND." The organizational skills of jilted gamers never cease to amaze.
Beyond pricing, players questioned whether the game itself merits such a premium. Comment #18 fired: "At this price tag, you'd think it's some AAA 3D Chinese title. Truly noble and confident." Comment #17 delivered the real body blow: "Did From Starlight (来自星尘) give Yuzhong false confidence? 'Oh, you can ship something at that quality level? Then stop stalling and ship ours too'" — referencing how Yostar's poorly-received From Starlight seemingly emboldened Sunborn to think any quality bar was acceptable.
The deluxe edition's value proposition also drew fire. Comment #9: "¥98/¥218? Are they insane? Well, it's Yuzhong (ym), so par for the course. What extras are in the deluxe to even justify the name?" But the real galaxy-brain takes came from the reverse-Uno crowd. Comment #15: "Time to go give Three Kingdoms Kill a positive review" — the logic being that Bakery Girl's review-bombing will make Three Kingdoms Kill's ratio look relatively better. Comment #19 doubled down: "If you guys don't show up to leave negatives, I'm going to go give Three Kingdoms Kill positives instead."
Comment #10 cut straight to the bone: "Is Yuzhong broke? Is he trying to squeeze one last cash grab out of Bakery Girl?" Comment #5 dropped a WWII history meme: "As long as Steiner attacks, everything will be fine" — comparing Sunborn's last-ditch launch to the German army's futile counterattack order in the final days of WWII.
Not everyone was purely hostile though. Comment #14 said, "Well, guess I HAVE to add it to my wishlist now — gonna review it day one for the full experience." Comment #8 offered practical advice: "March 22 has Dragon's Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin launching — who has time for this?" Comment #11 set the bar with cold math: "Just surpass Honkai Impact 3rd's negative count first, then we'll talk."
Looking at the big picture, this pricing controversy isn't really about ¥98 or ¥218. It's the culmination of long-simmering trust issues between Sunborn (and specifically Yuzhong) and their player base. From the Girls' Frontline 2 debacles to this Bakery Girl pricing fiasco, the community mood has evolved from "disappointed" to full-on "meme-tier mockery." Come March 22, Steam's negative review section might just witness a historic event.
