Pantheon

[Kergan]

Because an adult with a reasonable income doesn't give a flying shit about a couple hundred bucks? I spent that on stupid Hearthstone packs. Time > Money u dig?

so I guess the only reason this wasnt embezzlement is because the donations link on the pantheon website goes to brad's personal bank account as tax-free gifts instead of to the corporate entity "visionary realms"

That's a whole other level of retarded I hadn't anticipated.

It's not just that.

After a few articles finally popped up on mainstream MMO websites a couple days ago describing Brad pocketing $45k of the kickstarter money the website actually experiences a jump in donations.

As fucking sad as it is, bad news literally better than no news at all.....

I did not donate to the non-kickstarter/website based funding. Mostly because I just wanted shit on P99 to begin with, but also because one of the self-confessed "screw ups" Brad mentioned was not using a website that allowed them to keep the money even if the goal wasn't met. After 20+ years in game design including multiple AAA releases and forming your own company how can you not understand how much it takes to make a video game? Even Brad isn't that dumb. So if your goal is set at 800k, that's what you think its gonna take. Pocketing half that knowing you can't make the game with the funds you have is just a big scam. Clearly the guy had some personal issues and needed cash, which is why he took almost 40% of their funds and gave it to himself. Not the kinda guy I'd trust with my money.

so does that mean that kickstarter could be used to launder money?
