They didn't reveal what the question actually was right?
They gave all the questions from the second interview, without mentioning which one caused the dispute, afaik:
we asked about the state of funding for both games, how long development would be sustainable on current funding, how hiring was going, how big the studio is, when the game would advance from beta one, when the remaining NDA would drop, when to expect launch or a minimum viable product, whether the game’s monetization could change, how big a playerbase was needed to sustain the game financially and gameplay-wise, what happened to Final Stand: Ragnarok and its “first access” last December, why refunds were so slow, how many more refunds were outstanding, and whether and how the studio had responded to apparently futile backer claims to the state attorney general.
Pretty sure this would be the one he didn't want to answer and didn't want even mentioned that he wouldn't answer:
"whether and how the studio had responded to apparently futile backer claims to the state attorney general"

Massively has been garbage now for years. I don't even know why people read their garbage site. Most of their articles are like news stories from 3 days ago and a lot of boring click bait stuff. Their editor doesn't even play MMOs anymore. That site should have died when AOL shuttered it.
I read it less and less every week. Too many fluff articles and opinion pieces, too much passive-aggressiveness, self-righteousness and snobishness, too much bias, too much going into agendas unrelated to games and too much biased censoring in the comment section, while selectively allowing specific types of toxicity (which the authors agree with) to fester.
They still cast a wide net though and are a very good site for finding interesting niche titles and their weekly mop-up is good for catching up to a few smaller stories. But I find I need this less as time passes because forum members also post these here.
I generally ignore their articles and use their title plus links to read from the source.
Also, I think she does play, just mostly old games like SWG:L.
Bree hasn't picked up a new MMO probably since GW2. They heavily censor their comment sections too, which I think has killed off a good bit of their readership. They are probably just staying afloat with how little traffic they're probably getting these days. The writers on the site are barely gamers too except maybe for MJ.
Did I read that right they said Final Stand Ragnarok only brought in 6k? Because if that's true that's a total disaster. Wasn't he saying Ragnarok was going to help him release CU?
Well it's "free" to anyone who backed Camelot Unchained. It's not finished, has had no advertisement other than a super negative reaction from the community... I'm actually surprised it brought in $6k...

I have no horse in this race but did feel a little bad for the dude in the clip where he was about to break down and cry when fearing people may never give him another chance. Not bad enough to think he should be forgiven for his massive blunders but still.
Come on guy that is way out there, this is no more than stress from seeing this project through. Though that stress does indicate the game is not on solid footing.
Does it? I think it makes more sense that the death in his family (as Nilden has already mentioned), the severe vaccination after-effects and the COVID working conditions have a much higher impact on his stress level. But of course this is pure speculation on my part.
Which to my mind would cause a lot of stress and the knee jerk anger that he has shown.
The writers on the site are barely gamers too except maybe for MJ.
And barely writers too, it seems. Because apparently the author of the article feels compelled to add a bunch of explanations, interpretations and additional information in the comments.

This was just so dumb of a thing to get caught up in.
