They got into bed with Wizards of the Coast with no promise from WotC to "buy the cow". They did a poor job on the contract. They should have had some financial buy-in from WotC for certain milestones achieved. <br /><br />They may not have gotten a contract on those terms, but they would have better known where they stood from the get-go. <br /><br />Unlike Eric, I'm not certain Morningstar will live on in its current incarnation. They may have to break it up into smaller apps, which lessens its overall utility.<br /><br />They could probably release just a character builder alone right now, but without the other features, that becomes a much less interesting product.Raging Owlbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556804177905125874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-73561536561990022122014-12-31T19:35:28.574-05:002014-12-31T19:35:28.574-05:00I was as irritated as you at their guilt-trip appr...I was as irritated as you at their guilt-trip approach. I was in the beta before it canceled and would have liked to see it succeed. Since I don't play Pathfinder, though, I had no interest in this version. Also: I don't mind funding a Kickstarter for a tiny independent shop (especially if it's 1 or 2 people), but if you've got 16 employees or whatever and some existing funding, come back when you have something you want me to buy.<br /><br />They should go back and take Capitalism 101 again to understand what this is actually telling them (and the industry).Kyle Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028811120307956640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-37022340543318891412014-12-31T19:22:57.488-05:002014-12-31T19:22:57.488-05:00They must have never heard of Indiegogo where even...They must have never heard of Indiegogo where even if the project doesn't fund, you can still opt to keep the money. . .petespahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003977036485078376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-141626296058595642014-12-31T19:05:38.040-05:002014-12-31T19:05:38.040-05:00I think everyone should pledge now.
