Is Pantheon Really Going to Happen?

True, but I could have programmed Half-Life 2 Episode 3 in JAVA by now.

Funny how they have a link for Project Norrath(EQ next) at bottom of page right next to pantheon website on that new forum. So this means no one getting early access to velious since its not gonna fund or can i just throw my money at them on their site and still manage to get it?

I have zero faith in someone who'd leave $460K of free money on the table.

Between the entire team they couldn't pool together $340K? None of them have retirement accounts to borrow against? Or houses to borrow against? Or relatives who wanted to make some easy money?

Crackheads.

Yeah because draining your retirement savings to fund Brads game sounds like a real solid investment, easy money for sure!

If $340K is "draining" your retirement, you're not the target investor. There are, however, plenty of people who would and should risk $340K for a quick lucrative payday.

You don't leave free money on the table. Period.

The point was that it would be an awful investment, there is no quick payday here.

And the point was wrong.

The angel isn't funding them for a trip to San Diego to design a level or some other rewards being offered via the kickstart page... He's doing it for his investment back plus a return in the short term. Consulting fees. Fees to his company. A salaried position. Something.

You realize I'm not talking about some random stranger pledging 340K out of the blue through kickstart, right? I'm talking about the developers approaching an investor (perhaps a relative or even themselves) and asking him to fund the rest so they don't leave money on the table. I'd figure that would be obvious, but maybe not based on your responses.
