The first phrase which entered my mind as i woke up was 'kickstarter terrorists'. And i smiled.
Can this become a board title? I mean, that's a pretty high honor to receive.... It's not everyday you donate personal money, change avatars/signatures in support of someone, offer counsel, supply constructive criticism, attempt to provide warnings of pitfalls within the industry, and even redirect a site (fohguild.org) to direct people to their cause and be considered a terrorist.

So typical when people are not willing to live in reality that they would be irrational when you attempt to burst their bubble.

A cursory background check of your KS profile cleary puts you in the fanboy corner, Soy ... dont try to infiltrate us!

The only person I really remember trolling the KS was PSD. That was at the end tho. He started off like most people here, supportive.

No shit, if he puts one of those screens up during the KS, especially in the beginning before people starting questioning how much 'work' was being done, he gets a ton more support. Now it just looks like backtracking and then when you say you've had this stuff pre-KS, it makes him look worse.
Well, initially, his ego allowed him to believe that the KS would fund, because he's Brad Motherfucking McQuaid, damnit! He'd sort out the details later, probably after having a few bumps.

Well, reality is starting to set in that his "clout" in the industry was almost entirely ruined after Vanguard(now it most certainly is). Now, he's doing all sorts of mental gymnastics, backtracking, and bullshit selling, hoping to catch lightning in a bottle again. The thing is, he was lucky as hell he caught it the first time, plus he had numerous competent people around him for support. Now he thinks he's going to do so off of the backs of "apprentice developers"? How did that work out in Vanguard for ya, Brad?

Wish I had really been involved then. Looked occasionally but that was when I was hardcore WoW. Of course that was when WoW was still pretty damn good.
It was good times. I was white-knighting the shit out of that game, while Ut was trying to lead me(and others) to the light. He ended up being completely right in the end.

It's pretty hilarious. All this 'crowdfunding' bullshit, EQN's user-created content, etc. It's all to reduce costs to these companies and selling to you stuff you yourself make for them, for free.

It's the ultimate exploitation.
And yet, you've been all over Brad's nuts, hoping that the KS would fund.

TROLL?!

How dare you! I was a supporter to the end simply asking questions so we could move forward with honesty and make sure the team stayed together to get this game made!!!


Brad really is a cancer.
Woah, dude, not fair! Cancer is largely treatable these days if detected early (perhaps the first few weeks of a KS?) and there's still hope to find a cure Cancer. Pretty sure nobody will ever find a cure for Bradtheon.

Was browsing in the old thread and came across this again:

Brad next co-founded in May of 2010 a new start-up in the San Diego area. The new game studio focused on next generation sophisticated casual and social games. Unable to find the right amount of funding, but learning a lot about free-to-play gaming, Brad left the start-up in January 2012
Startups just aren't his thing, I guess.
