Will need to watch the comments on the KS forum that last couple of hours also , will range from raging at the world for not believing in Brad to "we didn't need Kickstarter anyway".
Quaid not busting you balls about it , genuinely curious , if the KS fails you going to go for 45 on the private site (if there's an alpha tier around that level )? I've seen many folks on the new forums suggest they raise alpha access tier to get more money , no idea if they will or not.

its going to be so awesome. i'll be fairly drunk, taking screenshots of the choice cuts for posterity when this thread gets shawed.
I will absolutely not donate to this project due to the past failings of Vanguard.

See I was willing to give him a chance even after that because I so want a game like this.
But the problem now is I so want a game like this and judging by the KS management some things seem to not change.
Sigh.
But on a positive note I can revel in folks on the Kickstarter Forum thinking this will legitimately fund still.
Oh, seriously? Who uses terms like "beta" and "testing" and "back-end server code" to refer to forums. Key terms... I was starting to feel left out.
"Thank you for being an early supporter to our KS campaign but fuck you and give us real monies now or you shan't be made privy to 3l33t3 Pantheon infoz."
Well ok then.

I'm pretty sure if Brad had several hundred thousand bucks freed up enough he could, himself, donate the KS, he'd at least have been smart enough to self-fund early portions of this project instead of going to KS destitute and begging for a chance to even start working toward his redemption.
We'll see, though. As people have said, number of backers is obviously more important. If we don't see the spike there, then I'm out.

They shoulda said "fuck KS" and done this to begin with and all of us woulda been out our $15 before we realized what was going on!
I was thinking this too, however, he may not have thought he needed to (in the beginning). Why use your own money when you can use other people's money? I'm Brad McQuaid, DAMMIT!!
And because all the cool kids do it:
Seriously though , how did Jacobs have 2 million to throw in to his Camelot Unchained , and Brad jack ?

Pretty sure Brad poured a lot of his personal finances into starting up Sigil. I could be wrong, though.

While I'm sure Microsoft financed much of Vanguard, I think the monies spent on Sigil itself came from Aradude.
I'm sure the guy never made massive coin anyway. Maybe for a 7 or 8 year period he made 200k/year? If it was even that high, it's not millionaire money, especially in SoCal. It's not like he sees Royalties from EQ or anything.
Realistically, the guy probably has a big fat mortgage like the rest of us.

And since Sigil, what has he done? Failed to start a few companies/games and gotten paid as a grunt dev for SOE? I'm sure Jacobs got paid bank for WAR while Brad was blowing what was left of his fortune on whatever social media game/company he was working on that went nowhere.

You sure? Didn't he say in that interview that he went to MS with literally napkin ideas and a reputation and got funded. Makes it sound like him and the guy he mentioned had nothing and everything after was from MS money.
