Its honestly a bit insulting that some of these people think they can just hop into game design with zero knowledge of the industry or any knowhow. I imagine it will go a lot like this;

I just don't see it. Sure, you can think this is your big break. Sure, Brad can try to take even more people's money. Now, let's hit reality for just a second. Who will pay to play these guy's game? Who will trust Brad to make a quality product? Where is the real hype for vaporware in an already niche market? This will be really fun to make fun of until Brad's milked the cow's tits into oblivion. Outside of that, only a moron would think there's anything else to this.

Well, call me a moron then. I think Brad's doing this for no other reason than Exhibit A: I shouldn't be sued because I really did try to make a game, even with the people who donated!

I really think this is CYA more than anything else.

Quite possibly. But I wonder who was going toactuallysue him. It would have to be one of the guys on his "dev" team if anything, and they're all fucking complicit.

You don't go to the cops because your dealer shorted your ounce.

Oh, I agree that he will attempt something for the exact reasons you mention. I don't think it will ever finish or see any real success. Brad the con artist? Some success. Pantheon, the game? None.

If the game is good, people will play it. No one is going to care what kind of scum made the game if it's fun to play. Let's not overstate reputation. The problem is going to be getting the good game

Drink moar!
Has nothing to do with being positive about the project. If the game is good, people will play it. Simple fact. People won't give two shits about who made the game if it's good.

Also Convo is on TS with me and him and Nirrtix are going at it. Good stuff

If the game ever actually exists, people will play it. If they're having this much trouble getting funding and/or interest in its infancy, how likely do you think that is? Rhetorical, I know, since you're going to respond that it'll absopositively be released on time!!1one.

The real trouble is getting it made. My point is that if it's made and it's good, no one will care about Brad or what he did. I think we agree here.

I really wish I knew the guy with the trust fund who basically gave 45k to Brad McQuaid to buy coke and hookers....cause I think I could do it better and far cheaper.
