They allow that? That seems shady as fuck and shouldn't be allowed.I heard that Mark will pledge the difference. It is free money why throw it away.
the whole thing is sketchy. if he funds the rest, there'll be a spin on their mantra ("if 2mil not met, then won't be made"). else, it'll be some 3rd party with some interest/behindthedoorbenefits on it that won't be seen on the ks. get as much nonbinding vc, subsidize the rest.They allow that? That seems shady as fuck and shouldn't be allowed.
It certainly is shady but no Kickstarter doesn't allow it. He was quoted as saying he will only put up the additional funds ($3 million total - $2 million secured by him and $1 million secured by unknown source) if the Kickstarter goal is met.They allow that?

OK, good. Despite my negativity on thinking this will ever see the light of day, I hope it gets funded just for the chance of a little diversity in the genre.It certainly is shady but no Kickstarter doesn't allow it.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun emailed Mark Jacbos and asked him to ask his backers to stop emailing them which of course, he did.Do or die time with the Kickstarter.
Related: over the weekend, a few game journalists I follow on Twitter were complaining about the amount of mail they were getting regarding the CU Kickstarter. Going to be interesting to see what happens!
There will be a massive push/growth as this thing closes out so I think it'll be close. If it does hit 2million, paypal will open up and I think the stretch goals will be reached fairly easily at that point.they gotta make another 400k in 69 hours. Don't see it happening
Cool, Mark has been hanging out on my groups boards now for a while and posting asking us what we want/like in an MMO. I was stunned when he actually came onto our vent channel and was asking us what we like in MMO's and what our opinions were.So I just had an hour long interview with Mark Jacobs.
Good interview, thanks for that and can't wait to hear the follow-up.
he's soliciting funds. aka kissing babies to get votesCool, Mark has been hanging out on my groups boards now for a while and posting asking us what we want/like in an MMO. I was stunned when he actually came onto our vent channel and was asking us what we like in MMO's and what our opinions were.
I'm really hoping he listened to us and takes our suggestions seriously.
Great job guys!Clem coming through getting big hitters for the show for the win!
