I made a comment along the lines of what Exophase posted. Not as eloquent but hopefully covered some of his points. At this point there's not much you can do to protect anyone. If they don't go to the KS comments page or any of the various message boards they will have to use their head or they...
I am completely shocked!, this was not the update I was expecting today.
Did KS put some heat on them and they cancelled to save face?
Selling on their own storefront makes it easier to take money and not deal with skepticism, and there is less opportunity for purchasers to get any...
He mentioned the Pyra to give his comments credibility. Otherwise who is Michael Mrozek (Open Pandora GmbH) to most of those people? He wasn't advertising he was answering questions and clearing up some miscommunication from PGS. I don't need to defend him but you should re-read his comments...
Maybe I didn't express my thoughts well, but I'm not asking if KS campaigns ended up scamming or misusing funds after the campaign ended, but were these campaigns a complete gong show like PGS from the get go?
Kreyos wasn't on KS, and I know that indie gogo has laxer rules for their campaigns...
I'll admit I don't back much and what I do back is relatively low risk. Do most campaigns have this much BS and drama surrounding them and the amount of funding as PGS? I'm curious, it seems like something ambitious and sketchy as the PGS would get more scrutiny then some cookbook, wristband or...
If he owned up and admitted to being in over his head, being the only person working on the project and felt he had to make the team look like an established and professional company then maybe. It's hard to give someone trust after being deceived on so many occasions, and having to speculate...
GPD is doing it right, even though they aren't new to the scene, and had trust and goodwill from their previous handhelds. They are providing a lot of updates although a lot of information is from their Chinese forums.It's the only way to do these projects where funding is toward development...
Slightly is putting it lightly. You don't get investors by deception. I don't know how business operates in Russia but ethics is a pretty big thing here. Considering KS backing is putting a lot of trust into strangers you need to be as open and transparent as possible or it will blow up. At this...
I personally wasn't expecting anything at all. There's been no indication since the beginning anyone on the team, or just Nadir, had the KSA's to do anything more than they showed today. But with all the time they spent putting it together, not counting the 2 or so years they have been...
Wow big loss today, I missed all the fun. PGS (Nadir and his forum buddies) were doing better by not updating. I was wrong about Alec but the whole backer support recruitment and offering money if funded really makes it sound like KS should shut it down now. I know fake support is very much...
They do better without discussing anything pertinent to the actual development and production of their handheld. They don't get called out on anything shady and the comments complaining nothing is happening and they are avoiding the real issues get crapped on by their supporters. Ignorance is...
Ok I have been really busy with work but who the heck is Monty? Where are all these people coming from? Why is no one that is listed on the team commenting. This just gets weirder and weirder.
Also I noticed KS removed some comments. What did I miss? And no update. The soon strategy is working...
I know they shutdown the Laser Razor and it was in the millions, not sure when it was shutdown though and they didn't have a prototype if I recall. I think PGS has done just enough to get by KS rules so far with their prototype, although I still don't think this is a fair representation of a...
I'm sure there have been lots of reports. Kickstarter would have to be monitoring it. I don't back a lot of things that are risky like this or involve large amount of money up front, generally stick to pc games, so I don't know when they usually shut them down. Do they tend to investigate...
Thanks for the update! It's such a contrast from another company not worth mentioning. Jealous of anyone in the EU next month going to Gamescon. Take lots of pictures!
Completely agree. I also believe it is against kickstarter rules, although I am no angel their with my language sometimes. Sadly it gave them the "us against them" angle. Now any legitimate questions are burried by the troll backer accounts.
