It seems to be that this content is possibly not even attached to the overworld and is just simply made as a "demo" to send to investors as a one and done experience.

legitimately happy for some game developers getting to keep their jobs. I think it's a very bad investment but hell I'd rather this hosed project get more money than star citizen. They haven't started selling $10k castles yet have they?

"deeply committed and competent" seems like a rare thing to have to throw out in an announcement. It's like just before the quote someone asked him "how do you respond to accusations that the company has a half-assed approach to and poor understanding of modern technology and communication?"

They may make it to alpha before the 10 year mark. Probably not. It’s hilarious to me that we’re on 7 years and they have only a compressed demo to show investors and nothing else.

A) They managed to get the attention of an old school MMO fan that has more money than sense and yearns for the good old days of EQ-likes B) This is an investment fund that intends to make that money back through grifting every last cent out of passionate (blind) fans, having seen other crowdfunded games get away with doing the same I know which option I'm betting on.

It is an extremely common fallacy - one deeply ingrained through propaganda into our minds - to believe that acquiring vast sums of money is a matter of hard work, ingenuity, and discipline, and not cruelty, rapace, and pure, dumb luck.

Let's see how long it takes them to get a 3D artist (to be fair they really need at least 3-4 of them if not more).

They would've had to throw Brad's dead body under the bus, pinning all the development problems on him. I'd believe it, too. Not that I would throw a million at them, but I'd buy that excuse.

I'm not surprised at anything regarding people giving their money away freely. I saw someone talk about giving tens of thousands of dollars to Chronicles of Elyria game, those motherfuckers literally set up their funding tiers in the most scam way possible. It entices sad /lonely/bored MMO fans to donate on the premise when game launched they have a substantial amount of 'power within the game and the totally conceptual housing features. Every single thing I see from these MMO companies in perpetual development hell, the incompetence is frightening. I've posted a couple YouTube links of guy who analyzing some of their interviews, it's pretty scary stuff.

Pretty much every...no, actually every...mmo started since the late 00s I assume is a scam or vaporware, unless it has an already existing IP behind it (I can't remember when Tor and Lotro came out).

Yes, the fintech sector. That guy is an executive at some company called FreedomPay. So... Pantheon might now be partly owned by a payment processing company.

It was only a matter of time before they found out about MMOs along with f2p business models and the whales they exploit. I look forward to Pantheon offering 60 month financing plans for in game real estate.

I was assuming the dude was some bitcoin dweeb that got in early; based on the fintech poo poo that's probably a safe bet. He decided now was time to cash in slightly and get on the board of a scam MMO yet to admit defeat or rise from scam ashes to become a ponzi scheme that has to pay off legal fees from not delivering a game the first time after looting millions.
