This makes no sense. If nobody pulled their pledges because they were unhappy until the last minute, how would they have any idea that people were unhappy with the kickstarter? Pull your pledge now if you don't like the project.
He is a video game legend with a huge, successful resume. Yeah, I frequently forget his name over the years, but when I remember, respect is immediately restored. Without digging into the past, Brad's track record isn't even remotely comparable. It's suggestions to the contrary that bring out the ugly reminders.
I'm in the same place pretty much. My pledge is good up to the last day, when I'll decide to pull it or not. If tomorrow was the last day, and they had it funded, I'd be out for sure.
So, if they get really close, they'll fall short because of people like you. Good idea.
You seem to be taking this project really personally. I know I shouldn't be responding to you because you're just looking for a fight, but take it easy, man.
You can't pull a pledge if it would bring a funded project to unfunded status, so there's that.
I'm trying to be nice to other MMO buddies that still want to see this get funded. They're still willing to put more blind faith into the team than I am. It doesn't make a lot of sense, no, but that's my reasoning.
No, they'll fall short for having a shitty Kickstarter by a team that couldn't prove they could actually deliver.
Too bad we can't kick start these guys. VG emu of 2007 era Vanguard would be sweet, even if buggy and chunky.
Im feeling the same. I have days where im all over this and I have hope, then I hear the team speak and I feel like I have put more effort and thought and research into "their" game and kick-starter than they have. It honestly feels like they just turned up thinking the money would flood in. I get it. they are game devs but to come to kick-starter with no plan? its just painful to watch.
No it's funny just watching people like yourself bitch to an endless degree, and realize if a hardcore mmo did come out I wouldn't really want you and your care-bear mentality there anyways.
Well, if you'd been following this thread, you'd see I was actually championing it quite a bit. It's just been the last couple of days of blunders and finally this undead race nonsense that doesn't even fit in their lore that, oddly enough, was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back for me.
Sir. You seem really tough, so I just wanted to let you know I'll be your friend so you don't have to beat me up, okay? Please!
This is another reason a KS team should focus on their message, not necessarily just their product. Projects can get funded based on a good presentation and right message. Then if the project fails backers and supporters have a way to save face: man, their presentation was so good but I guess it was all just lies!
