MadalinStroe: As long as they don't bite more than they can chew, as they did with System Shock... just saying. :(
Just to clarify: it's actually worse than that.
Their f*ck up is literally epic.
Basically Mr. Stephen Kick used the money collected through a kickstarter campaign not to develop the game Nightdive was supposed to deliver but instead 1.35M USD were used to pitch a concept of a totally different System Shock game, that nobody asked for, to a publisher hoping to get it funded.
Publisher denied funding ---> all money gone!
And it gets worse, way worse than that.
All of that happened without asking, not even informing the people who gave their money for a "Faithful Remake" of a classic, one of the most influential games over there.
Backers were left in dark the for years with just a few updates about concept art until I stepped up and asked clearly if it was still financially sustainable after years, someone took the liberty of insulting me because of my negativity.
The following update was about Mr. Stephen Kick telling us that the money was gone and the project was put on hold.
All along people asking questions were ignored, people asking refunds were denied them, people on their discord got banned. And let's not forget that the backers gave their money on a demo that at some point was trashed
Updates are timestamped: you can check the date and go back through the comment section check my words if you want proof.
Mr Stephen Kick then took some months to reorganize the team and put the project back in development with Nightdive's money.
All good then?
No, not at all.
Now, four years later they are still developing a game that is not what we were promised and they are cutting corners left and right.
So, no, that's not just "more than they could chew" is lying in the face of your backers, is not just incomptence, is arrogance.
Forgive my venting but every time I read: Nighdive is reviving this or that I feel all the frustration coming back and I just hope that they keep their paws out of the stuff I love and care about before they ruin it.
