I will cut CGL a little slack here, as I don’t know about you folks but I’ve backed enough projects – including this one – where a small yet vocal part of the backer base at like, frankly, over-entitled pricks and dumped vitriol on the creators, the projects and all over social media (and I want to be clear I don’t include any of you folks in that category as I consider you all passionate fans who are understandably irked by the situation). It’s led to a tendency in creators to be a bit gunshy when it comes to passing on bad news or just general updates if the news is not that of any real progression.

Could communication be better? Yes, absolutely. Do I think there is any malice or intent to annoy backers with the slow feed of information? Not in the slightest.

Admittedly I’m saying this as a UK backer who has seen the note that our rewards have cleared customs and should be moving to the warehouse.
But I’m also saying it after an intense few days of depression brought on by having my driving licence suddenly revoked due to one of my health conditions, so perspective, ya know?
