They are trying to get a publisher, but the deals keep falling through.

No wonder. Their key pitch point was Brad and now that he's gone they're stuck with trying to explain to a bunch of guys in suits how "y... you have to group" is going to be a good return on their investment.

One of the board members on their website that they took down is also a board member on Green Man Gaming. I forget his name. Also, there are members on the board who have ties to a company called Securitas, a credit card network security firm. There was a former developer on Discord that talked about they were spending $500,000 k a month back in the early days when they were developing the game. A lot of their work was scrapped by the new team. It sounds like to me that they don't want to give credit to the original team for ownership rights. The company is still forfeited by the State of California FTB. However. they have a good standing with the California SOS and State of Delaware S0S. In the first 8 years they never paid any corporate taxes to Delaware because their revenue was less than one million dollars a year. Delaware SOS requires a register agent of service (Brad's name is still on the paperwork) to be present in order for serving papers and also require a physical address, not a mailbox at the local PO mail depot. You can't serve a dead man. How are they staying afloat? I know their investments are self-reported as an LLC and they don't have to share their investor information. I know Jason Epstein at one time was a rumored angel investor. At this point I have written off my investment and if it launchs I know they aren't going to let me play. So, screw them.

Most publishers like steam want 30% off the top when it comes to game publishing. Most companies cant make any money with this offer to do business with them.
You're pretty obsessed with them on an entirely different level, a little scary, but why would they not let *you* play? Who are you to them?

Me? Not at all. i never played Vanguard. I will probably play Pantheon for like a few days. I am quick to discount games. I played with Brad and a 100% EQ fan boi. I am kind of sad how my situation was handled with certain members of the community. Joppa did apologize to me before he placed me on ignore. There is a bunch of gate keepers in the community, Everyone thinks if they can stab the next person in line that they will get their shot. When I signed on to do content for Pantheon I made a commitment to myself and to never take any kind of funding from them or to ever go to work for them. I wanted to exp the game in the purest form, free from corruption, in case things go bad with the game. I had a lot of ideas were stolen from various community members and then they tried to cock block me from the community as a result when they got called out. I am very honest with people but I am also very direct. Will Pantheon launch I dont know? I like to think there is more to the game than screenshots and half finished zones in nine years. Pantheon keeps alluding a bigger brother watching over them who has their back.

Even if Pantheon developers were to come to me and say you are unbanned from the forums so go and play nicely again now. It would not change the fact that the game is delayed for at least two more years+ and may not make it to release. This is why you don't promise a game to people if you don't have the funding secured. I never really used the forums anyway. It was mostly to promote my website and podcast which i never made any money from the community. The pantheon community is pretty tame when it comes to being mad. Now those Ashes of Creation people are a fucking psycho cult. Gigabear is the whistle blower there and they made a 95-page PowerPoint on his actions in the community. everything has said has come true with AOC. Steven is starting to lose good people to companies like Amazon games and Riot because he is going broke. Getting to a game to release is a very hard thing to do in this day and age.

The fact that these grifters have been at it for 9 years would imply that funding is the least of their problems.

Remember the days, when people would make games, full games. Games that they loved and wanted to make. Then, they put them on store shelves and let you buy them? They take the risk upfront, and their work is rewarded if they do a good job.

Remember those days? Seems like we had better and more frequent games back then. Makes you think...

I agree. Bazgrim just reported that VR has just hired for the current four positions on their website. I know why they have Brad's name on the documents so that the company appears to be dead to the public. Everything they showed appears that their business is foundering and not worth going after it. VR likes to play possum and one day they will change everything over when they want to strike. They aren't fooling anyone here guys. The sad thing is they are still using Brad's name. I know they are doing it for him and to carry on his legacy. But gawd dawn stop using a dead man's name to avoid correspondence with the various agencies of the government when you owe the FTB money and an explanation. They tell everyone that Pantheon is a crowdfunded game but i honestly believe that they are being supported by another source. Basically, I believe they are double dipping the chip.

People in the Pantheon community like to refer to this community as simple-minded players who don't know anything, watch idiotic memes all day, jack off to pornography, stroke their e -penis, and drink breast milk.

Good to know the Pantheon haters are crazier, as evidenced many times before this already. What a world.

Sometimes I can understand a Mr. Sox post. Others not so much.

Frankly I love the guy and look forward to more updates.

I do feel slightly inferior in the crazy department, but I'm a big boy and don't let jealousy get the best of me. There's some gems in them posts.

So they know us well, in other words.

Good news. They have thought about fishing and how it might work. No word on actually designing and implementing. But they have talked about it.
