FYI - "Receive e-mail from administrators" isn't a newsletter opt-in. Actually the UBB doesn't have a newsletter module, it sends you e-mails only when you opt-in to get updates from a certain topic/forum. So nobody opted in to receive a newsletter.

As for actually using this server to send out mass emails that won't happen either, because it will cause me a lot of problems with spamlists. I don't use it for my business newsletters either. Whenever a client asks for such a service I use a dedicated mailing-list service, which have thousands of IPs so are actually impossible to ban.

[color:#CC0000]But I think we've covered this in detail, I am going to stop here with the explanations. This discussion is over. Thank you.[/color]

... Anyone who is a member of this site and isn't aware yet of Flashback, probably isn't interested in the JA Franchise anymore or has to many other distractions in real life to care right now.

These are not the type of updates this kickstarter needs to succeed. The sooner they bring on board some recognizable talent (designers and writers) or show enough of Space Hulk to make believers out of the community, the better.

A great game isn't going to be make merely with good intentions (though I suppose that helps!).

Starting to think Full Control might be better off canceling the KS for two weeks and then come back with a better pitch, better reward tiers (lets face it they are currently messed up and all over the place) and maybe some old sirtech folk

i see them canceling this one if there is no movement this week,too.

or they could go for a lower amount and start on the game. then later come back to kickstarter kinda like divinity original sin. but who knows maybe it will blow up next week.
here is to hoping for the best...

nahh they will get 750k easily :luckystrike:

With the new month they will get more pledges, also Shanga will fly over to Denmark, getting tai massaged right from the get go, approves everything mediately.
Than, whole Sirtech team gets involved in an Danish wide sex scandal with Full Control and Tao breaks into bitComposer stealing the license while hearing Asian classic.

Everything well documented, with lence flairs from JJ.Abrams and voice over from Keanu Reeves.

Easy

This is bitComposer Michael over there, he loves diving into messed up communitys, making his stand

The idea is the bC made all the wrong steps right from the go. Announced they make "JA2 Reloaded" with pomp and then said it's no longer TB. That's like looking down the barrel and pulling the trigger to check if shotgun is loaded. The fact that they renamed it BIA and pulled all the marketing bells and whistles just didn't work. They realized way too late this game is A CULT GAME. It's not your pewpewpew tadadada shooter my 7 year old would probably love (but he's forbidden to play). This is a cult game for a very very specialized and expert hardcore fan base. And if you can't win the hardcore fans and think "fuck them, we'll just rebrand it and sell it to kids", the fans will give you a whoopin to remember.

Every game, standalone or online, that betrayed its hardcore fan base has failed ugly. I mean really really ugly. Because it's the Internet Age and what I tweet and post on my FB today it's read by 100-200 people. And from there on it just snowballs downhill. Multiply that by a couple of thousands and you can understand the power of word of mouth today. It's something some gaming marketeers never got taught at school. Or dunno, maybe some CEO were schooled back when it mattered more what X or Y magazine said about it. And instead of being true and honest to the people that matter most - their audience - they prefer to manipulate reviews and buy gifts for gaming editors to write nice things. That's not working so well nowdays. Cause users will fuckup your Metacritic ratings, they will thrash your review comments and will disintegrate your company on forums.

This is why FC is doing well what they are doing and they're are to be applauded. Only downside, they have nothing yet to show. But they're not asking for $2 million either. They're basically asking for a chance to prove it can be done right.

And let's face it - after BIA, it's the best chance we got. Maybe the last.

And so we are here. We gave them the license. They can use it. We offered funding. They wanted to stay independent. It was kinda tough to convince people that this would still be a good idea - but it worked. They can offer it DRM free, hell they can even offer it with flying cats. They now have the license, they can do whatever they wish to do - at least once. Cause the license-agreement is just for one game. At least for now. Who knows? If this game kicks ass and chews bubblegum, Full Control might also do JA3. Who knows?
