Kickstarter Backers Fuming Perception Devs Cancel Physical Copies

Developer Deep End Games announced at the last minute that they are changing their plans for physical reward copies of Perception and backers are furious.

That's pretty lame, physical copies are a big deal. I'd ask for my money back.

Smh kickstarter developers are retarded. Every one of them gives you guys promises and they are too stupid to fulfill them. That's why people need to do a bit more research before funding shit

DreadfulHero3274d ago (Edited 3274d ago )

I'm not sure what sort of research you can do that would really help in this case. I believe the people involved with this game were all talented people who were involved with some good games in the past. If their product sounds interesting, you invest. However, this case is a little different. They should've just delayed the physical copy, nixed the supplemental only disc, and still given those backers a Steam or DRM-free key until they got their copy.

"But every one of them" is a bit of an exaggeration. I'm sure at this point literally hundreds of games have been backed on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or other such avenues. Some have delivered, some haven't. Some have been shady, some haven't. Wasteland 2 was successful and fine. Pillars of Eternity was successful and fine. Mighty No. 9 was not. Yooka Laylee is kind of in the middle ground. This game doesn't seem like it will be successful either. What people don't realize is that you're not really buying a game. You're helping to get it made. If it ends up being crappy, that's on you as an investor... not as a customer. Still, these people got burned over physical rewards, and that shouldn't happen either.

I agree, I didnt know PoE was funded through kickstarter. I just feel like there is more crap than good things that come out of it based on the news that I have read

LOCO2093274d ago

Kinda lame really that this type of stuff is even happening... Guess they will NOT learn til people stop supporting them.
I mean WTF all they have to do is not make the promises if you can not keep them in the first place. Simple.
But this bait and switch crap is completely LAME.
That's the reason for your level (support) goals in the first place devs.

Kickstarter = gambling. You lost. Learn, and move on.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
