dragonbeast: wasteland 2 got 3 mil as well but then again I heard that that was far from a scam (heard nothing but praise for it). I actually have it but i haven't found the time to play it yet/

If you get 8 times your requested budget, i feel like you need to really deliver (a whole game).

But here's what i caught of all this: Tim puts game on kickstarter, gets 8 time the requested amount. Somehow he runs out of dosh and releases the first halve alone. Meanwhile Tim is making another game on early access, runs out of budget there as well and then just says "hey modders, here's an unfinished game. It's your problem now. Bye, i'm off to insult my audience and especially the minorities in it."

So we got 8 times the requested kickstarter budget, all that munie gone (with the wind) and 2 unfinished games with no budget to go on.

Something tell me he used the 1+1+40=50 formula when calculating his finances as well.

RWarehall: Wonder if behind-the-scenes Gamasutra let Leigh Alexander go. Probably dictates from up high. Did they lose too many readers (aka ad dollars)?

Neobr10: And you know what's weird? Tim Schafer has been acting exactly like Peter Molyneux for years regarding his games: he's promising way more than what he can achieve and he's not delievering anything he has promised, yet the gaming press doesn't hold him accountable in any way, shape or form. But when Molyuneux does the same thing, he gets an offensive interviewer accusing him of being a pathological liar in a hit piece. Why doesn't Tim Schafer get the same treatment? Maybe because he's part ot the "clique", as shown by his last speech at GDC? Where are the prople who supported the RPS interview like htown? Where are you now? Double standards much?

HiPhish: My usual explanation is that it's a con-artist or profiteer, but what kind of money can you make by labelling bathrooms as "gender neutral"?

HiPhish: BTW: I had to laugh when I read "gender-neutral" bathroom. If the bathroom is not gender-specific then it's just a plain bathroom. It's like they are trying so hard to be "not like those other guys", they don't even notice anymore how off they are. I used to think that SJWs are just dumb kids and people pretending on Tumbler for the lolz, but these are grown up people. Is the San Francisco water supply infested with some brain devouring parasites? What is going on here? My usual explanation is that it's a con-artist or profiteer, but what kind of money can you make by labelling bathrooms as "gender neutral"?

HiPhish: The excrements are the same, but the way they come out is not. Using that logic we shouldn't have segregated locker rooms and showers either. Some people simply feel uncomfortable naked around a person of the opposite sex.

Gender-neutral bathrooms are not there to break the segregation or anything, they exist to appease the idiots who think the binary gender division is an invention of The Patriarchy. That's what's BS.

ScotchMonkey: Here's what I don't get about bathrooms.

All humans poop. Sometimes they pee. Sometimes even both.

Is there something fundamentally different about how the sexes perform these two acts? Is there some biological imperative that is obfuscated when a person does not use a bathroom assigned to their gender? Does gender neutral poop stink less than cis white male poop?

Just have one big bathroom and stop acting like our shit is any different because is bloody isn't.

dragonbeast: Yes there is one difference for which they need to be separated: urinals.

men and women alike could be offended because of mildly exposed junk, but that's it.
in theory you could have a small urinal room and a bigger "anything else" room
