Niggles: So whats the latest with this?
MaximumBunny: That it's out, it sucks, and the guy doing the giveaway thread for it died. :P
Funny. Just checked now. "Delivery date 2014"... WTF...... and announcement of a publisher AND game on console.
Just what the f*** happened all this time?
Actually never mind. Looked through a few updates. Saw this comment :
" People below have suggested that those backers upset by things shouldn't be KS backers and instead get a discounted product when it goes on sale. I think that misses the point, but it could also be turned on inXile: by crowdsourcing their product, they're exposing themselves to the need to better manage the perceptions and expectations of their backers, that most committed core of their audience. If they didn't want that or weren't prepared for it, they shouldn't be crowdsourcing their product.
Regardless of one's perceptions of the situation, there are certain indisputable facts:
- The game was estimated to deliver Dec 2014.
- It's now March 2016.
- The update above states that the writing team has only just completed its first pass on writing.
- inXile is targeting a 2016 release date.
- inXile has produced 54 updates since the KS opened March 2013, averaging 1.5 updates/month.
- inXile decided to sell access to the game to non-backers before a significant number of backers received access.
- inXile sent no update to backers about that decision ahead of time.
- Some backers are upset by either the decision or the lack of communication, or both"
And that was from March....
