More like they are at Bencotto's high fiving each other over the fact they actually found enough idiots to give them money to pay their bills so they don't have to get real jobs.
People are knocking them for getting together this many months later to try and get organized. I don't know why it needs to keep being said, but these guys are asking for millions of dollars. Is it really unreasonable for people to expect some fucking professionalism from them from the BEGINNING and not months down the road? These guys are suppose to be professional veterans of the industry. So far I'm not seeing it, and if you're being honest with yourself you haven't seen it either. Some of these start ups being run by kids fresh out of college (if that) are better presented, and better run.
We're knocking them for not having done this already. How much experience does this team have at making games? This isn't some high school project where they can just wing it and do just fine. We should be seeing some level of professionalism out of them but at every turn they demonstrate that they have none. The way they're going about this is so utterly ass backwards is nearly every way I can think of that they even have me feeling embarrassed for them. It is absolutely shameful to see this kind of project managment from 20 year industry vets.
Actually.. I was debating even posting any updates here, but people were asking. I didn't think the last thread should of been rickshawed. The needle for a lot of you will move until the very end. If you're going to make that projection when someone post anything positive, I'll stay out of it and not post.People are knocking them for getting together this many months later to try and get organized.

I can see what is going to happen now. Every time they do something that isn't completely fucktarded the devoted are going to run here for a "SEE?! SEE?! THEY ARE DOING IT!!!".
People are knocking them for actually trying to do a Kickstarter without actually doing any of this first. It's fucking retarded that they haven't. You can't pat them on the back for finally organizing after attempting to raise money. It just speaks to incompetence.
With displays like these coming from VRI I wouldn't be too surprised if I were you to find this thread right along side it's sister in the HoS in a year or three.
I believe they are using Paypal for donations right now which means that as soon as you donate your money is gone. You don't even have the minimal protection that Kickstarter offers now. No idea what may happen if someone down the road feels like getting legal on Brad's ass.
The worst part about it was Brad having the balls to say how they were working for free and wanted to back pay them the industry standard for their work. How much does it cost to reimburse a package of napkins and some bics?
So what are the odds of actually seeing a game? 1/100? 1/1000?
