    Part of me is glad that deal fell apart... Something about a successful working partnership with a transvestite is bothersome to my mind

    I like inExile.

    But, I think all of this bad news is coming out right before the Torment release for a reason. Looks like they are banking on positive Torment press to overshadow everything they had to compromise on/cut out.
    Hopefully Torment is fekking great because otherwise alot of their goodwill "Torment is looking promising..." press is gonna evaporate and the Codex will run raving into An Age of Shitposting Like No Other.

    Maybe InXile are trying to create a narrative to wriggle their slimy hands out of the deal altogether. I have no idea what they'd pay for a deal like this.

    lol inb4 inXile doesn't pay them anyway because they're out of money and busy sucking off Techland and what the hell kind of profit could they make out of the BT remasters anyway?

    In fact this sudden honesty from inXile is probably just them preparing that just in case the remaster is finished they still won't have to pay because like they were late guise and like the buildings are too square!!!

    Should have got Cleve to do the remaster. That's what you get when you pick amateurs and not someone with almost 20 years of standalone game making experience.

    OMG... WL remaster looks so bad. It's obviously some kind of automated vectorization. Seriously how is this an improvement in any way

    I blame both parties. They should have made a proper contract not just an verbal agreement.
    A good agreement would have been 50% upfront and 50% after delivering or Heineman gets the rights to the revenues from the remastered version. And this verbal agreement seems to lead to confusions and unclarity concerning payment and etc. But to be honest the Battle Chess KS does not leave hope for a BT1-3 remastered version with stupid jokes.

    Nowhere. But how else you can explain the contradicting statments about the payment? Party inXile dispute the claims of Party Heineman. If this would have been a normal contract then the payment would be part of the writen arrangement and then it would have been quite simple to go to the court and settle very fast the dispute. Also both parties could post part of the contract to validate their claims and none of the parties have done this. A good contract has explice contained the part of payment, delivering stage and time of product and naturally what are the precautions, if a party fails on their part of the contract.

    Like the old polish saying goes: Let us love each other like brothers, but count out like jews. Or like the german saying goes: Over the topic of money, friendships are breaking.

    So for the reason of 1) contradicting claims that are very easy to write down in an contract and 2) no evidence for the claims of both parties, it is highly probable that not a proper contract was made.

    If you buy a car, apartment or a house then this modalities are explicit written down. If you a hired or hire someone then this is an explicit part of the contract that you make with your employer or employee. If you even buy yourself a soft drink in a shop, then you receive a receipt that validates your entire payment in parts and sum for the shop, the bought product and the time of the agreement.

    What the fuck; I can't believe this tranny bullshit. Why does this hobby attract these degenerate freaks?

    Anyhow Bards Tale 4 was the only thing I was/am looking forward to from IneXile. That first triler sold me, it looks so magical (and i know the actual game, if there is one, will look nothing like it) I don't care about the remasters; just don't fuck up the game itself. Please.

    inxile are incompetents who actually trusted an insane tranny with a questionable track record to complete a project, and therefore they should not be trusted with anyone's money

    OR

    inxile are cunning snake oil salesmen who saw an opportunity to get a few extra $$$ with cool backer rewards without needing to pay a cent or actually deliver. they come out of it looking like innocent victims when an unreliable third party doesn't complete the work, but in reality they planned for exactly that outcome by picking someone who would obviously fail to deliver and agreeing on payment only upon completion. and therefore they should not be trusted with anyone's money.

    which is it and why? discuss!

    Option C:

    Recently divorced Fargo was seduced by the feminine wiles of one Rebecca Heineman.

    They fucked everywhere. All the Kama Sutra positions. On the golden bathroom seat too.

    And in that flurry of passion, Heineman whispered but a single request in the ear of a red faced, gasping Fargo.

    You know, your standard honey trap.

    There's no real contradiction here. It's just Becky seeing if she can get an informal advance from inXile. She obviously is telling white lies saying that's why she hasn't completed it. On one hand that's true, because she needed to get a paying gig. On the other hand it misrepresents what their agreement is.
