@jamescutts it is kind of hard to support a game when the way this kickstarter is handled is done so poorly.

I can’t recommend a game when I don’t know if or when the game itself will be available.
And if this is how they’re handling customer service … well let’s just say I wouldn’t wish that upon my enemies.

And there are other games within this scale that have much more potential (and friendlier companies running them).

That is probably something that CGL are losing track off as well. Battletech isn’t the only big stompy epic warmachine game in town.

I’m trying to be positive and hoping that these are just the kind of issues that are part of how they are managing the kickstarter, but I can’t help but feel that this is simply the result of how they have chosen to operate their business. And that does not bode well. They probably don’t know how lucky they are with customers that are this loyal after all this time. They should be really careful not to squander that good fortune.

I do hope we get an honest and open post mortem for this kickstarter. I’m not saying that we as backers ‘deserve’ to have that, but I do think that it would be of great value to themselves as a company/team.

(this is where we could send a Gerry to hunt them down … *eh* I mean to interview/interrogate them … )

btw : the website famous for rating other people’s paintjobs (aka CMON) are doing a sequel to another Mythic property : Super Fantasy Brawl. Another game that like God Tear by Steamforged just happened to be released at the wrong time (slightly before or during the pandemic).
