That is... quite outrageous.

Although it of course isn't news to us that games that are funded through kickstarter can also be funded by alternative means that were not originally disclosed or even outright purported to not be used.

This town cannot accommodate the numerical totality of our combined mass.

It seems less like they're funding it, and more like they're helping out & handling the marketing. Not quite as scandalous as people are making it out to be.

Griffork: I'm back! Just saw the trailer of Masters of Albion and it's a godgame! Immediately thought of this forum and decided to visit. Aug 21, 2024 7:51:22 GMT

Griffork: Sorry for being away for so long. The job I had at the beginning of the year seems to be having a full-blown melt-down (and I got caught in it). I'm now at a new place but the new job has been a very hectic learning experience (yay for being on R&D!) Aug 21, 2024 7:55:26 GMT

Lord Ba'al: He is indeed at it again. I read a few lines from some article saying he took something from this game and something from that game and something from yet another game and put it all together. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:06 GMT
