What was the biggest crowdfunding vidya scam so far ?
I vote for Yogventures, half a million dollars down the drain, and nobody got his money back.
The lead developer was so stressed that his wife left him and he almost lost his job he had while developing the game too, meanwhile even Yogscast distanced themselves from him
>>337041548
Obligatory.
>>337041548
Definitly Yogventures.
>Used to love Yogscast
>Didn't have enough money to give them any
>Biggest success of my life
They really should have hired someone better or better yet,go back to making the videos that people enjoyed.
Technically it was more of an early access thing than crowdfunding, but I'd hand that "award" to Minecraft.
Why support an independent dev when he only ends up selling the whole shit to MS when he loses interest?
Tropes vs Women is a serious contender.
Personal politics aside,
>presenter sat in front of a flat colored curtain
>stock images and unlicensed stills/footage from games
>evident lack of research with personal opinion dressed up to sound like sourced fact
>each episode looks like it was made in Sony Vegas, this software possibly being the only part of production on which money was actually spent
I doubt the kickstarter money went on anything except enabling her to dick around buying plaid shirts, hoop earrings and $1000 gucci shoes without having to work a job at the same time.
>>337041548
>>337043397
It's incredibly sad that anyone fell for this. Just look at that shit, it's painfully fake. The artwork screams illegitimacy. I was able to tell just by looking at it that it would be a massive failure and everyone would lose their fucking money.
>>337043635
At least Minecraft is a finished game that got lots of support. Can hardly call it a scam when you not only got the promised product, but much more.
The dead linger
>>337043397
>Biggest success of my life
As you used to love Yogcast, I think it's safe to say that wasn't a huge benchmark.
>>337043635
lel, are you a butthurt stockholder or something?
was spacebase kickstarter or just early access
>>337043764
i'd say the publicity it earned her was far more profitable in the long run than tropes vs women's relatively meager earnings
i'd still bang anita though
>>337043764
To be brutally honest you could pirate Sony Vegas just fine. Maybe the money only went towards equipment like lighting, a new camera and the rest towards frivolous shit.
>>337045348
calling this a scam is assuming too much competency from chucklefuck
it's more like a flop and i'm almost sure they've wasted a shitload of the money trying to keep it afloat
>>337043773
not only that... it screamed derivative minecraft ripoff

I wouldn't call that a scam so much as a complete incompetence by all parties involved. Yogscast gave the money to some dude who had some cred. Dude can't do shit, overpromises, underdelivers, adds features while core game is nowhere to be found. Yogscast learn to never trust again.

>>337046912
That whole game had an uncanny valley vibe to it up close. It was worse with the prequel though.
I've just checked some videos recently because I like Factorio and have been searching for videos
why are they so big exactly? what's their shtick? I don't quite understand
What about Truth and Trolls? Did that even take flight?
>>337048497
You fell for the meme anon.
Steamworks and Steam aren't the same thing. Valve gives devs the option whether to enable Steamworks (aka the DRM), so those fucking faggot assholes are just as much to blame as the chucklefucks at Valve for releasing a game that necessitates it.
There's a whole wiki full of games that once downloaded, can be removed from the Steam folder and launched independently of Steam.
tl;dr blame Valve but also fucking shitty devs that decide to voluntarily fuck you in the ass when they had a choice not to
>>337048563
Their shtick used to be Simon Honeydew, a giant loud manchild that was witty and intelligent but let the fans change him into an obnoxious meme machine. He semi retired but does the occasional video. Now their shtick is mostly to just play games they like to play. It's not a byte size intstant gratification channel. You get to know the people and the videos become like a warm blanket rather than a quick injection of dopamines.
Now it's a big network with at least 10 channels/personalities and it's just British people being chill and playing games.
I've been a fan for some time and I like them because their humor is humor and not just loud noises and lolrandum. British humor is also always a plus. If you want to check some guys out Sips is the chillest and most likable. Sjin is second and is always funny and energetic. Hatfilms are great for dick jokes and college level humor.
>>337049725

I'd say Ouya. $8 million, a joke as soon as it launched, and out of production 2 years later.
>>337053379
Do NOT bully the Ouya!
>>337053274
no, he never said any of that.
the extent that people go to defend cube world and how poorly he handled it baffles me. at most I can agree he didn't take the money and run, he just semi-abandoned it out of incompetence, but he's a cunt for leaving tens of thousands of paying customers in the dark

I'd like to think that this wasn't intended to be a scam, like they actually wanted this game to be made then everything fell apart.
>>337043283
This isn't more of a scam since we are still getting the game and people have already gotten to play parts of it so we know that it isn't all alpha content.

Because the idiots who funded it aren't prepared to admit they had the wool pulled over their eyes, plus Anita herself still has some in the industry who will back her up.
Give it five years when she's likely to have washed her hands completely of gaming, then you'll have her backers admitting they got swindled and that they only thought they were backing something with good intentions.
>>337046237
the mobile version is pretty much the only one they gave a fuck about

>>337053864
>Post Minecraft Yogscast is kinda disgusting
Coming from someone who shared a WoW server with them, Pre-Minecraft YOGS were a bunch of fucking cunts. It still baffles me that they've grown so big when they were fucking insufferable.
>>337056226
Did the guy they got to play "God" ever get any input on the game after the whole debacle with him being interviewed? The whole thing just seems like a total disaster.
>>337050747
I check up on this from time to time to see if it ever updates, nothing. Although, Wollay has recently started posting progress he's made on twitter (after being gone for 2 fucking years) so I guess it's not completely dead.

God I hope not.
It's one thing to get swindled, it's another to defend and enable said swindler. If they only admit they got swindled after the swindler has swindled everybody they could.. I can't actually finish that thought, it's just a giant chasm of malice with no words.

Tell me the whole story behind this. I'm interested.
>>337055643
She cashed in on the patriarchy/privilege frenzy. It's beginning to fade slightly, and people are beginning to lose interest in her. She never finished the series because nobody cared enough, and she won't finish the next one for the same reason. It's only a matter of time until she doesn't get enough money to do anything and all her attempts to cry about why are just pissing into the wind.
Take comfort in the fact she's just a person with nothing but hot opinions. Nobody is crowning her the queen of the matriarchy any time soon, and it's not long before her only legacy is a couple of unfinished poorly produced web series and a wikipedia entry.
>tfw still watching yogscast
Their Minecraft series are really entertaining because its obvious nobody actually likes playing Minecraft so all they do is fuck around. I like their podcasts and double dragon more though.
It must be miserable playing minecraft, gta and garrys mod all day though, jesus. You gotta do what you gotta do to get views in but it must be really exhausting.
>>337056750
>you will die in your lifetime
>without your own wikipedia entry
>>337056552
That's why it was a near-bulletproof scheme. It was, as >>337056750 says, right at the cusp of the "issue" of representation in videogames, and the people invested in it wanted a spearhead. Tropes vs Women presented itself perfectly for that, and noone at the time was seriously willing to entertain the potential that she might just be taking advantage of a heated situation.
Several years later, the thing's not even half finished and she's off on another venture.

>>337058389
H-he'll come back, right? ;_;
>>337058005
I feel that Simons long absences have been the main reason the Yogscast has improved lately. It forced them to try to do content other than so much Minecraft, and I think he is a bad influence on the others, especially Lewis. Anything with Simon tends to be worse because of his childishness (which he probably hams up for views), and he tends to try to be the centre of attention which I think gets on other peoples nerves sometimes.
>>337058757
Simon got a case of the youtube fever where he acts like an idiot for views. Thank fuck that he is in less videos now.
Also the B-team garry's mod videos are great. Feels much more natural than the lewis n simon stuff
They did some great videos in the Cataclysm beta. But they had to get tempted by all that minecraft money.
How the fuck has Star Citizen only been mentioned twice? It's the only game that's had microtransactions before the game was even released, and it has a fucking pyramid scheme referral plan.
>>337059336
Broadly speaking I think any content that they make because they actually WANT to play a game always leads to better, more natural interactions (which is why I watch at least). Sips is a great example of this since he basically doesn't play shit he doesn't want to, except for maybe Minecraft. Even then it's not like he actually plays the game there, take the current series on the main channel and he just fucks about with Simon, neither of them give a shit about the actual game.
>>337056321
really? how so? I'm genuinly curious, they always seemed nice.
>>337053864
Sips is still great
>>337059885
You don't see them with outside people much in their videos, so you don't see how dickish they can be (except Sips).
>>337059981
any examples, or just generally dickishnish?
Stories about youtubers being dicks are always funny.
>>337059829
Didn't watch sips for a while, Rust is not my cup of tea. Enjoying the podcast he does with pflax and lewis though.
But I get what you say, I think that most of the yogscast is burned out on minecraft, but they keep trying to go back to it cause mad sheckles and playing that game without motivation will just make you dick around

>>337053379
I wouldn't really say that Ouya was a scam. Yes, it was shitty, but they did actually deliver a product that was more or less in line with the original pitch. Their real issue was that the pitched product was shitty.
The communication side of things did go rather badly, such as the infamous poll and the "Stradivarius of controllers" bullshit marketing, but that's as far as the shitshow went. They actually delivered, unlike some of the real scams listed in this thread

>>337061115
What I hate is that everyone clamors for equality and representation but completely ignore all the myriad works that already represent them. Representation is already abundant. What it needs is more people supporting the people who do it without making a huge fucking song and dance about it so more people will normalize it and make it an entirely natural thing that doesn't smack of insufferable Bioware-tier political correctness.

Small time. Here's another vote for Star Citizen and more than $100 million disappearing into the ether, with the number steadily climbing.

Man, Simon and Lewis pre-their success were so relaxed and fun to listen to. They've changed too much.

Yah, that is what they said. A surgery that kept him off all social media for months, and from making videos for over a year. A surgery that just happened to coincide with him pissing a TON of people off with his pissbaby comments, shitting on TB(aka the guy who made the yogscast famous), and GG hate. A surgery that just happened to coincide right after mass boycotting of the main channel from his comments that caused views to drop over 40%.
Sure sure, it was a surgery.

What happened to Shadow of Israphel? I really did enjoy that series. Did they ever finish it?
>>337063802
Nope
>>337051408
It's actually the opposite, it's a Meme to like her. People like her because she's a woman, when she actually kind of sucks.
>>337063968
nope, they never did. I loved it when i was younger, but I can't even watch it now. They waited too long to finish it, and now everyone who watched it has long been unsubbed. If they upload it, I'll watch, but only for old times sake. They're just not funny anymore. (Also I really miss Nilesy. He moved on to streaming which I've just never enjoyed. Makes me sad. I really liked him.)
>>337063968
No, it made them famous, and they got afraid of the ending being too shitty for the built up hype.
>>337063968
It's dead.
>>337064309
i think they got tired of making a roleplaying series for 11 year olds
>>337064390
Yeah none of them seem that interested or care when they get asked questions about it. I think they just got bored of it since it went on for so long.
>>337063968
I'm pretty sure they just got sick of working on it with each other.

>sumo hated it
Gonna need a source on that. I love the game as a whole, but it felt like sumo really bent over for a lot of the shit in the game with all those guest characters when we never got characters like Segata or Nei.

It only took him a couple of years to come back.

How can this thread be so blind
Does anyone know of the project that was cancelled because the girl running it said the sun was talking to her or some shit? I think it was a card game
>>337061805
it was a kickstarter consisting of nothing but concept art and sjw pandering
it went precisely nowhere
>>337065807

They have an update with more randomized dungeons, 300+ news creatures, 27 Story Bosses, new weapons, new creatures, and their next patch is suppose to bring RNG Gear States like Diablo which increase Health, Stamina, and Damage
>>337068768
so how long have you been shilling for them?
>>337065283
Sumo kinda has to since they're a third-party developer for a licensed game. They do what Sega lets them do. The only thing they fucked up on was no Bayonetta.
StarForge if anyone remembers it.
I actually bought the founder's edition
Then those fucks did it again with reign of kings
>>337041548
the Yogcast are horrible people, they had alot of money left from the kickstarter but instead of giving that back to the backers, they gave the backers a shitty coupon for a different kickstarter game that they didn't even want.
they kept the remaining money, think it was 150k.
their friend cancerguy(forgot his name) defended them, saying that sometimes kickstarters fail.
everybody happily forgets, that their kickstarter was a minecraft clone, a big fuck you to notch for having that fight with them at the con.
they tried to make ads that would let them profit from other people's work, when their friend cancerguy said publicly that it was wrong, they stopped all communication with him and called him a liar and made up all sorts of stories about him, which are not true.
Yogcast is trash and if you support them you're a bad person.

I could sum it up by saying that my life has become a struggle to gain equality with xx chromosome females whose place in life is secured by their ability to get pregnant... something I can't do.

The issue I had with that game was that once you had the ore you needed to make the endgame gear, there really wasn't any reason to go underground anymore. The rest of the game consisted of running along the surface of planets and opening chests.

Fuck the yogscast.
Shadow of Israphel was my favorite machina series and they cancelled it just to spite notch. If they just asked for some of that patreon money they would be fucking multi-millionaires by now.

>>337051051
It didn't even look good when you actually got your hands on the alpha/beta builds, it looked like somebody just made some TF2 idle/levelling map where you control some loli. The only thing worse was how it playedwhich is terrible
>>337051539
Doesn't look much better than before, all I'm seeing is some new textures for the walls and a little less radial lighting

>>337063851
it says VR READY in the fucking corner
>>337046419
>>337069828
Did they really touch on why they stopped making videos in the Shadow of Israphel series? I remember they just acted like no one cared about it and pretty much completely ignored everything about it
>>337044723
you can literally see no change in quality in video recording before and after the kickstarter
>>337051752
He destroyed and abandoned one of my favorite tf2 communities and this is what he has to show for it? Disgusting.
>>337041548
I beleive that the Homestuck webcomic-game..thing they kickstarting were trying to do was also quite the scam.
Not only the developers hired to make the game ran with the money they also used the money to make the King's Quest Episodic Remake.
CLANG
They gave up because they are incompetent.

>>337056321
>>337041548
if I recall for a mine craft convention they acted like big shots shits who wouldn't attend unless notch paid them
look at those pathetic fucks now
they lost majority of any influence they had to the mine craft to the now shit TDM and other people
but what pisses off my middle school self is that they never finish their shadows of Israphel series only because they were to fucking shit to try and make progress to recreate the story
god damn was this rant shit
but seriously fuck the yogcast Simon and lewis
they should just stop trying all together
>>337071387
and now that I'm in high school it just pains me looking back...
>>337056039
The longer I waited for them to uploadthe next Shadow of Israphel video that never came, the more I realized it would never, ever be any good.
And honestly, having watched that video seriesin high schooland being enchanted by it...I was pissed when I found outone of them somehow deleted the fucking world they were playing in.

I had a friend who killed herself a couple of months ago. She was mentally ill as shit, went through a period of calling herself trans male before she came out of it and took on other forms of mental instability which led to... Well, yeah.
I don't hate trans folk. She was a good friend, no less when she was calling herself "he" and insisting others do the same. I just feel like insisting that they're perfectly mentally fine means actual problems that threaten their mental and ultimately physical wellbeing. I feel like it's hardly a secret that transgenderism is something that typically goes hand in hand with other mental conditions.
I feel sorry for them for being burdened with problems that they wish were normal but genuinely never can be, and that people hold that against them.

>Take comfort in the fact she's just a person with nothing but hot opinions.
Yet what she's done has already had a huge impact on all the shit video games have gone through in the past 6 or so years. All this feminism/SJW approval and general shift in tone in the game journalists can be traced back to feminist frequency. I really do hope that such trends are truly dying out.I do find it funny that the beginning of its death came from a burgers and fries scandal.

Don't let yourself get drawn into the scaremongering delusion that she's had a "huge impact" on the gaming industry. She's influenced a couple of games that would barely have been any better without her input. She's barely done anything at all, and her presence is already fading from the scene.
You only lend her unwarranted credence by assuming she's actually achieved anything that'll last.

see what you have to do to fly is spam the jetpack button. It gives you more boost than just holding it.
I'm just guessing by their development cycle that that hasn't changed since 2007.
