    Pretty sure this project “went back into development” to let this dummy avoid getting sued for a while longer. Imagine the stress he feels every day thinking about the deep hole he dug for himself. Typical “in over your head” situation but since he played with other people’s money, shit got real.

    I am not sure he would want to return to Discord as he may inadvertently say something that does not fit with the carefully constructed arguments about why CoE was closed/put on hold and where the game is now.

    When I think of his communications history, I can't help but think of Trump. A person who shouldn't be allowed to interact with the people/customers.

    The crowds run amok daily in the imaginary game in his mind.  Although, Plaintiffs might be a pretty accurate description.  Plaintiffs disguised as players in the imaginary game in his mind, how's that sound?

    Oh I don't think he can help himself. He needs a place to express his warped reality. I mean, this is the guy who posted that he shut his studio and laid off his whole team while also describing himself as a Hero...

    "Continuing on with the Hero's Journey, the stage right after the Ordeal or "The Abyss" is Metamorphosis or Atonement. It's the period of the story where, having to transform themselves in order to make it out of the abyss, the hero becomes something better than they were before. Leaving the darkness behind, they emerge into the light, atone for their failures, and then move forward into the real growth-point of the story."

    I mean... seriously... that's the kind of self-delusion he needs to have...

    You're right, it should actually read "Backers". I had some more.. churlish things I preferred to have posted but erred on the side of civility.

    and the sad part is, the very cold reality of this is that every kickscammer will now be in perpetual development till the end of time, it's why Star Scammer will never release, he had the coin to pay and find out what would happen before he went the CoE route of, my bad couldn't do it thanks for the 8 million peace out all, so instead he'll keep up the facade while enjoying his 300 million.

    Scam Unchained, Scamtheon, they'll all just keep milking the free cash till the end of time.

    No point trying to battle it anymore, or even talk sense into the delusional Star Scam white knights, they'll never be a "FUCKING TOLD YOU!!!" moment for either side as this is the way it'll be forever and a day. I'm sure Roberts is already grooming family members the fine art of scamming people for a living in order to carry on the free cash train, provided there are still enough people falling for it around... so yeah ofc.

    It's useless to banter over it with white knights, let them dream and throw their money away cause there will never be an end to this... EVER.

    A hilarious dumpster fire.

    But in all seriousness, the dev/CEO of the company behind CoE is attempting to bide time and convince the world that, "the game is still being developed" in order to avoid legal repercussions.

    Soulbound was the one that tried to use internet backgrounds as their own weren't they? Or was that another indie group?

    He'd better watch that because sooner or later even the COE backers will make the connection that what he's doing now (pretending to develop a game) looks an awful lot like what he did all a long.

    The one good thing about these scams, provided one didn't fall prey, well even for them as well, they are fun af to pick on.

    I don't blame anyone whom fell for it, actually that's too harsh, now one falls for it, back then you know up to 10 FUCKING YEARS AGO these are known names, and good faith was basically ones foundation for supporting their goal.

    Yep, they shared some art as their own containing images cut and pasted from the internet, watermarks and all.

    Jeremy later retracted saying the images were concept art only to help develop their game and shouldn't have been shared.

    'the only way he could nail it any better is if he used a cross.'

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Update? That wasn't really an uodate at all. Just more of the same empty shit being peddled. Empty words promising vague future updates and underwhelming stuff.

    Blegh.

    Weell... generally yes, but in this case it was people that paid 10k (or whatever the price was) to play wannabe despot and king on other players. That sounds too much "petty megalomania" to me. Can't help but laugh at those particular backers :)

    Yea that's just fucking nuts to throw that much $$ at a HUGE ?

    Yeah i mean my kid, a little child in grade school, and i got into a huff over the fact i wouldn't buy him the 25k package, and informed his mother and i we are lucky that he thought long and hard about it and he'll settle for the 25k package and not the 50K package, or what the f ever unbelievable STUPID AF price that clown Roberts came up with back then.

    And if we don't, well there will be no point in him playing the game if he doesn't have that package, scam Roberts at work there, i mean where does a little child come up with that on his own. I'd just ask him what game? There is no fucking game (minus the swearing ofc)

    For the white knight imbecile's, he's a grown MAN now, who's about to graduate f'ing COLLEGE ffs to put this in perspective to any white knight moron, a child, grade school, teenager, high school, a man about to graduate post secondary, AND STILL NO FUCKING GAME, i mean how unbelievable stupid can anyone walking this earth fucking be OMFG FFS, /in a moment of disbelief trying to calm down turns on the news... something about the Whitehouse?... lmao one word... WOW!

    Anyway i just didn't want anyone whom backed to think i think they're all idiots, becasue they are not, it's these people using their names they are thief's preying on people's good will, however in present time, as in now, yeah just falling for it.

    I will give Walsh some very minor leeway on the development point.  A game in development, even one as abysmal as this sounded to me, is still a game in development, and someone (maybe) might be happy for that.  But I wonder if he Is he self-delusional?  I don't know, but it certainly appears to outside observers that this 'development' is more about defending himself than making a game.

    This article has nothing to do with Trump, But you still let your TDS get the better of you and you just can't resist posting political swill on an article that has nothing to do with politics.
    Trump clearly lives in your head space 24/7............. I feel sorry for people like you.
