I think they want to be “accurate” while not having a clue what they’re actually telling us.

So yeah … that VAT thing sounded more like an excuse and less like something that is part of the process.

CGL should consider themselves lucky that the end product itself is good, but I can’t help but wonder if that is part of the problem. They behave like they have been licensed to print money so quality is no longer part of their mind set as people will buy their stuff and won’t complain once they get it.

I’d argue that things would have been a thousand times easier if they had focused on the new bits with maybe the core rules as an extra for new players. Now they’re effectively having to restock their entire inventory, which makes it extra complex for hubs to know if they have ‘everything’ while they also are using this to restock their entire inventory (at least that’s my impression from the status update).

Self inflicted complexity powered by greed.
That’s how I’d summarize this kickstarter in a post mortem.
