* Once again a promised MMORPG game project has 'failed' and the creators are sailing off with millions. It's a cycle in that space that people throw tons of money at promises rather than play existing MMOs. Josh Strife Hayes has a very harsh video on this saying that people are trying to buy the promise of future community rather than join existing communities. If they are an OG backer of a game, they have baked in, bought and paid for, social relevancy. Some of the promises are literally impossible to fulfill, but the backers will defend the project tooth and nail rather than face reality.
And, he's not wrong. Also, that mentality isn't just in MMO scams. People will die on the hill of defending that a dream rather than face reality, history, take a close look at who is behind things, etc.
* I woke up on the salty side of the bed this morning
