I've read some of the posts on the animo board when I was looking for more game previews recently, and one person or persons really has it in for animo, repeating the scam artist claims in different ways. I've followed animo since the early days and the updates were continuous, with occasional missed deadlines, usually around release time when it took a day or week longer. I mean, you waited for a year, what's a week? Not scam artist worthy I would think.
The game was never going to be the main project after plans for Quiet started, but according to someone it's another scam that gets pulled out between releases. Yeah, I wish there were more previews, but again, scam? Now Wildeer, that's something else.
