SKG is officially the 4th highest signed initiative in the EU(the IT department for the ECI has been weeding fake sigs for weeks). It would appear that video game preservation is more important than keeping animals out of cages lol.
I think the numbers you posted at the post verifying, IIRC "one of us" was at 1.9mil before verification lowered it to 1.69. Thats also what ross meant with 250k being a good buffer, 250k out of 1.9 mil. We have WAY LESS than 1.9 mil, so its probably also going to be less than 250k bad signs.
And we still have another 10 days so hitting 1.45 mil is very likely, POSSIBLY 1.5
I would too but his lack of competency doesn’t make him a swindler.
Its more than lack of compitency.
Like lets compare this to maybe other early access slop failures
maybe a guy gets in over his head, maybe hes not financially too successful, and then he had kids, and literally cannot spare time or money to finish it. THIS SUCKS, but you can almost empathize with his game failing, if you have kids, if the game didn't sell well anyway, and you are just trying to get by, it makes sense. If you are working a job 40 hours a week and trying to raise kids, dumping time to finish a game with no financial payoff is hard. It should be avoided, but you can understand the reasoning.
JASON however already has employees, already has huge success, has money, has plenty of resources. HE DEFINITELY has the ability to AT LEAST hire a capable coder for maybe a year, get the game ironed out and shipped. This is ABSOLUTELY pheasable to do.
He refuses however because he would RATHER keep funding his ferret "rescue" business, keep streaming, ect. And probably most importantly, getting someone else to finish it would hurt his ego
Lets also not forget
the composer for heartbound made their OWN game, which is out, finished, and did well...
Its not because hes unable, hes UNWILLING.
