Was anyone else following the Kickstarter for the game Dimension Drive? What happened to them - a fraudulent high tier pledge was pulled with less than 30 minutes to go, dropping them below the Success mark - was totally unfair and horrible. www.mcvuk.com/news/read/troll-breaks-developer-s-heart-on-kickstarter/0149511
"I used to be a wastelander like you, until I took a settlement to the quest log"
"At some point we got a pledge of 7000 euros, the exact amount needed to reach our goal. As you can imagine we partied, shouted in social media, congrats were in order.
All that disappeared 30 minutes (more or less) before the end of the campaign. The Kickstarter guys sent us an email informing us that the pledge was fraudulent and that they had to remove it. Meaning that we were not funded anymore. Apparently, the user that pledged was a troll that wanted to play a really bad joke on us ( and some other Kickstarter projects )."

Yeah, apparently they weren't the only victims. No idea why anyone would do that, but the world is full of crazy people. It's also not clear how it was determined that the pledge was "fraudulent" by Kickstarter so quickly, or what exactly that means.
"I used to be a wastelander like you, until I took a settlement to the quest log"
Ah, that would explain it. What a plan; Steal a CC and donate to a bunch of Crowdfunders. Some people have no respect. I hadn't checked to see what each project was, but I have a feeling they're all gaming related.

After a very long and trying week, thanks to some very encouraging words from fans and peers, it looks like they have decided to relaunch the campaign on Monday. Dimension Drive doesn't back out !
And here's the original pitch video/demo for your viewing pleasure.

Hey, at least they didn't ask themselves, "What would Molydeux?" while having the decency to refrain from lying out of their arse to try to make their goal. tough break though..

Lord Ba'al: One of the presents, I spent hours wrapping. It's a bit stupid really. A NSFW giftwrapping. It's a 15 inch marble rolling pin, and two coconuts. You use your imagination, you get the idea.

Lord Ba'al: As usual, I've spent more money than I should have. I will never learn.

Lord Ba'al: So which family members will you be visiting?

Griffork: Only immediate family members, by partner's family and my family on separate days. Also boardgames on Christmas Eve.
Dec 17, 2023 23:24:55 GMT
Griffork: How about you? Are you also celebrating with family other than your parents?
Dec 17, 2023 23:25:30 GMT
Lord Ba'al: No, it will just be my wife, my stepdaughter, my parents, and me.
Dec 18, 2023 22:25:27 GMT
Lord Ba'al: My wife's family is all in the States, and kinda out of contact unfortunately.
Dec 18, 2023 22:26:04 GMT
Lord Ba'al: But we'll make it a good Christmas for sure.
Dec 18, 2023 22:26:39 GMT
Lord Ba'al: Oh, and there's the three cats and two dogs of course.
