If every backer had increased their pledge by 25% in the beginning, CU would be funded already and working on stretch goals.

Do you guys really want to see this project succeed? Or do you just secretly hate Mark Jacobs and want him to have ulcers?

By the way, there aren't as many "haters" here as the rabid fanbois think there are. Most of us just like poking hornet's nests to see what happens.

The concept of "proof" of a slippery slope just...

What are they teaching people in school these days?

Obviously, they are teaching our youth to be entitled. Don't you read these boards?

Don't worry, the last time the SB ads came down, they were back up the next day.

So, now when it fails they can blame it on Amazon, instead of blaming the campaign?

 

It's not going to fail, there's so many of us ready to double our pledges if we have too I bet. It will fund.

Mind if I ask why you didn't just double your pledge to begin with?

It was mentioned in the article that it was an organized attempt to get as many people as possible to send out the same copy pasta message.

If that's what happened, then not covering the game makes sense. They don't want other fans to get the same idea because the CU fan's attempt was successful. It's not the greatest result possible and it would be bad for CU, but at the same time imagine the result if the fans of TESO did the same thing. It would be ten times worse for the gaming sites. In the case of WildStar, it would be at least twice as bad. :-)

 

Exactly. He even wrote in the article: "No one likes spam, and coverage sends the message that harassment campaigns work."

What's funny is since that PA article was posted, the #backers/$pledged has gone up tremendously, so if anything I'd have to thank all the parties involved. =)

No, basing your KS on whitepaper with nothing really to show turned people away. This project was way too early to try to get crowdfunding. If he had put some more assets together, it might have succeeded.

Like someone above said, if CU fails to fund, it is only a testament to how not to do a KS.

"CCP games that weren't daunted when everyone said copying World of Warcraft was the only way to make it in the online world, and stuck to their SciFi guns until it paid off."

Didn't Eve come before WoW?

The whole comic is the punchline.

I rather enjoyed it.

See, no need for unnecessary drama.

You've been here long enough to know the drama here is always necessary.
