Yeah, I dug this up after reading about this stuff today: http://www.thegrouchygamer.com/?p=80

Hadn't ever seen this stuff before. When you combine that with the fact that he was obviously fucked up during at least one of those developer roundtable things, it's not looking good. Someone on that FoH thread said "Brad just ebayed the guild vault" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The vision of Pantheon reminded me too much of Vanguard.

They were making it too complicated, trying to make it "cool".

I gave money money knowing full well about his past. It was a pipe dream to begin with. Doesn't mean it shouldn't have been supported.

I think kickstarters for stuff like serious game/etc projects are an abomination.

This apparently never was a serious game project, given that after 8 months what they have to show for today is what a hobby designer can squeeze out of Unity in a week or two. Just milk people a bit more he can retire with a bigger bank.

I just listened to an interview from yesterday. Brad thinks he's going to find someone that will give him $12 million to make this game.

Surely this is a joke? Does someone seriously expect to make a AAA-quality MMORPG, today, for that price? EQ cost more than that in the mid-late 90's and launched in a condition that'd be guaranteed failure today.

I don't know who Triple-A it was ever going to be, but i'm more amazed that he thinks someone would give him that much money.
