Isn't that always the case with these has-been gaming auteurs? From Romero, to Spector, to Molyneux, to the 3.3 million dollar man, etc., none have managed to get the old mojo back - mostly because they are self-serving clowns that can't do shit without a talented team behind them, but like to pretend they're the sole reason old classics are classic.IMHO this game will be garbage (or barely average at best) and we have been getting signals of that since they started to change things and go back on their words.
I can't quite recall any of these "old gaming legend makes a game" Kickstarter that have turned out well.

The fact they went out and asked Epic to pay them for a 1-year exclusivity deal doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in their product.
Looks like Epic is financing their next game
I recall vividly how hated Steam was even years after release. Primarily because they didn't like the idea that if Steam would go poof so would their games. Also because they were attached to physical goodies like manuals, boxes and artwork. Besides the "convenience" factor, I suspect that quite a big reason why Steam was accepted was that the new generation started playing games and didn't know any different. Older generation otoh got used to it, and started having more disposable income so the financial risk of losing their games wasn't as big.
they didn'teven though all backers refunded
they haven'thave essentially bought up Phoenix Point

Epic is financing THIS game. Gollop said they'll be in black even though all backers refunded. Sweeney et al have essentially bought up Phoenix Point and now they're selling their own game, in effect, on their own store.
your hateboner for Steam is interfering with your ability to pilpul
10,000 backers paid for it first. If I finance your dream to create a product and then right as the project nears completion you go behind my back to approach some corporate suit-wearing shmuck for a deal knowing you'll be ditching your obligations to me, well, that my friend is called selling out. Gollop openly said he already had the resources to release the game but approached Epic to secure post-release guarantees. He didn't want to take a risk.Looks like Epic is financing their next game

Stop being such Epic hat0rz, you Steamtards. If GOG and every other store has to die so Epic can soar to the place in history they deserve, so be it. Can't ruin PC gaming without breaking a few eggs.10,000 backers paid for it first.

Can someone actually read Fig's terms of investment before complaining about Gollop and Epic? You did not finance shit. You gave your money to Fig to buy their stock. Gollop does not owe anything to you or have any obligations to you. Gollop's only obligations are to Fig and whether or not he needs to share the Epic moolah with them.
I was hesitant as well when I received the e-mail from Transferwise. But then I realized they weren't asking me for any information that isn't on every check I've ever written, and I've passed more than a few checks to businesses that are likely more questionable than Transferwise. Supposedly my money will arrive in my checking account on Monday.Don't wanna do a charge back I think.
The reviews look a bit better on this site though:

I did the Transferwise stuff and got my money today.
Where were the refund requests when Gollop truly fucked things over?
To be fair, Gollop sort of maybe impiled that perhaps after installing the Malware Launcher you can launch the game from the EXE and delete the Launcher if you want. But as of now, if Gollop told me the sky was blue I'd go outside to check. And then argue it's actually an unpleasant overcast shade of grey.Yeah, it's not like you have to launch the launcher before launching the game, because the game doesn't launch otherwise. But nice try.God forbid for them to think "well... I'll have to install that shit once, download the game and that's it but the game will benefit from it. It's not like it's an online multiplayer game and I'll have to constantly suffer from it."

Same here. Lost about 6 bucks though.

I doubt anyone here invested in anything. You’re forgetting that Fig has investors as well as traditional crowdfunding.
People are referring to the traditional crowdfunding.
