HATE didn't get the kickstarter love they were hoping. especially after Gloomhaven reprint pulled 4 mill+ and the success of the zombicide games. this was probably the most advertised KS game of all time and it only pulled 1.2 which is pretty sad.
You can say the market is over saturated at this point, Nemesis looks like an amazing game and it running concurrently with tons of stretch goals probably hurt the bottom line. also there are the murmurings of Batman mini game coming at the end of the month so people may be waiting on that. Overall this was the least successful "big game" for CMON they may need to review their approach to these. I am not a big fan of the way CMON handles their KS'ers or game support after the fact.
really interested in getting my hands on U-boot and still waiting for "heavy hitters" to arrive (should be any time now).
all of the "big budget" box games i bought that have like 900 extra goals i end up not even playing. i have 2 copies of zombicide, rivet wars, sedition wars, rail something, just gathering dust. probably time to offload some of this junk.
