not trying to dodge the question just not entirely sure what you mean, the only thing that changed is window where you can still buy the 36$ tier, if you didn't opt in you only need to pay 15$ or with ingame currencies (not sure if this still implies)
That is not what those posts were about. Your posts were about the creators being put in prison for false pedophilia charges you imagined up and being raped. They didn't even have any other substance to them beyond multiple posts of this unnecessary content, much less anything whatsoever about the business model of the game.
To be fair name a game where its fans are like "fuck yes! it has gatcha!" Thought so. It is done because its a very lucrative concept and if done well it can be very profitable while not being a glaring problem for the players. The multiplayer aspect is something they have their own vision on and while they could communicate it better some of the reasons are understandable. Do you think games are made by adhering to every single person's want? No, games are ultimately a function of what the creator wants to produce, not the fans. The fans can opt to not support it in a fan backed project like this but as we can see they're still readily supporting it and it obviously isn't a huge complaint even if its not exactly popular. The online component isn't really a problem anyways and is blown up by a bunch of self-conscious people with disorders who can't accept invisible mode because of unhealthy paranoia. I have no idea what your piece about F2P is.Oh yea silly me I forgot to mention how they're investing a lot of the project revenue into things that everyone is against: gatcha, F2P, multiplayer.
Damn man my argument is now ruined, I'm gonna go make a Helius shrine and pray to it for I have sinned
Those are some fair points. I don't necessarily agree with the bit about misleading or reason with, as I get the impression Helius actually has legitimate social nuances that lead to Helius' poor communication that need to be worked on more than intentional exploitation but the rest is fair, especially the first paragraph.
well as mods we only get a more limited amount of information but more then the patron's as i can't speak for the devs
That collateral is what I mean, I had posts beyond those. The prison one fine, half the days comments naw.
Okay, same page now. Yeah, that change in window. Why? Would the finances collapse if passes were free until early access as previously stated?
i honestly don't know, not been shared too me so i can't give you a answer on that as to why.
Removing the rest of the post because its a bit more complicated and just going to approach the core issue.
Well...yes...but my point was that they're reinvesting in shite for the very reason that all this is against the players directly, it's not just an inconvenience or whatever.
as far as it stand now no investment has been taking this has been the direction helius wanted to take the game in, the 15 million deal got put on the back burner but would be a back up in the future if there would be enough interest for a campaign more details on this i also do not have, only that currently there is no 3rd party but there has been interest from larger companies
I know you may not have access to too much financial stuff like that, but I'm really gonna need more than that to take your word on it. What we have in favor of it being taken is
You won't get those questions answered. They are not obligated to disclose investors and there is plenty of reason why they would not want to say if they have one. If they don't have one, well how he is supposed to prove it ?
-They got cash injection from selling beta access.
"Nobody wants" is something we can easily agree on as said features don't really bring anything good to the table .(well the multiplayer might for some, we will ignore them).
I think if you really wanna boycott something you shouldn't be pirating it, that is when it really says something.
I'm not the tax man trying to bust them. There's some pretty important implications that come with it for backers. Galatea isn't the only character MIA, there's also the horse and pig monsters who had in game models previewed and have had nothing done with them. A bigger company investing would be another source of pressure to transition to more moderate content. And people just generally don't like crowdfunding mixing with actual businesses backing the project.
The hiring quote from him is towards the end of 2021. He'd be aware at the point of how much he could hire without the investment. I might be getting too specific on that question, though my point is just it fits the timeline and statement of what he'd use the investment for. On its own, probably not indicative of much. With everything else it starts to add up.
Look this question won't lead to anything, nor is it something i can really answer without showing some kind of information on paper, even if I'd give posted information there is no way to confirm or deny on your end nor anyway to believe in what I'm saying so no matter what statement i give you tried filling in the gap's no matter if what im saying is right or wrong it's impossible to change someone's mind on the subject unless like i said i have some "official" way of proving this and i don't want to be blunt but helius has no obligations or reason to share that information publicly nor do have I access to such information, i do not say you need to take everything being said as face value and i do believe some form of skepticism is healthy to have. I can only provide you with information that is shared with me, which is what i stated above i do not really have a incentive too lie about information that I'm sharing but again it's fair enough too have some skepticism.
Yes, you're right in that Helius has no obligation to share that and can sell the game to whoever, but he isn't free from criticism on it. That indignant "Backers deserve to know nothing" treatment that comes with major decisions in the project like this, any swap from one project to the next, freemium/gacha, more extreme content put on hold etc, etc is what gets Helius the rep as a dishonest dev. Helius can decide whatever he wants in the background, but if backers didn't want those decisions and they were hidden then he's certainly not an honest up front kind of guy.
Can we start with you using periods please? Granted, you have no obligations to do so.
Don't know if he's a dev or not because I haven't been paying attention, but I can already picture what his code looks like if he is...
This was the only thing i could offer, like i said in the beginning i do not know everything helius does only thing i can do is shed some light on our side of the conversation with the information we have. if you believe this or not is for you to decide, I'm at least glad not everyone on this forum is acting like children trying to throw mud and was able to have normal conversation, everyone has their own opinion on this situation and reasonably so. it's oke to have some skepticism time will tell on how this story evolves from here on. that being said I'll probably move away from the forum soon and hope everyone here the best i'm also sure taboge9459 will let everyone know if something changes or there is some new news about the game. you can always contact me on discord or helius discord if there is any need for clarification.
