BattleTech: Mercenaries – CGL does a shipping booboo? Internet rages!

[tankkommander 6457xp 1]

Current list of unfulfilled KS’s;

Frostpunk RPG $124,412  due April 2026

Voltron RPG $139,648 due Sept 2025 (no pdf rules yet)

Shadowrun: Takedown $167,732 due Aug 2024 (actively deleting comments from concerned backers)

Leviathans $623,103 due Sept 2023 (apparently some stuff now shipped, quality tbc but looks bad)

Battletech Clan Invasion $2,586,421 due Aug 2019 (still items outstanding and zero news from CGL)

Battletech Mercs $7,549,241 due Jun 2024 (some backers still waiting)

And now 3 new projects announced.

CGL should put as much effort in to delivering projects to backers as they do deleting comments.

Kickstarter don’t care. They just ignore reports about CGL.

The biggest laugh is: they live streamed Leviathan today from GenCon XD

I think even Kickstarter started to care … or CGL started to notice the bad press.

Why else move their new project to a different platform (ie: Backerkit … the website often used as pledgemanager for kickstarter projects)

@sundancer did they manage to sort out the audio issues ?
I understand that mistakes and technical issues can happen, but you’d also expect them to monitor the stream for things like that … (then again … this is CGL)

I think roughly 45 minutes into the stream they managed to get an audioloop of the same 15 second snipped and then it actually, kind of worked.

Maybe they take a smaller cut? With CGL it is all about the nickels and dimes.

In news that will surprise almost nobody….they still have not completed delivery of this project to backers.

I’m not even mad any more. They are closing in on Star Citizen levels XD

Is this honestly still not done? so, yeah, KS seems awesome – said no one, ever.

CGL – failing hard, one KS pyramid scheme at a time!

They always manage to reach new levels of incompetence.
Apparently they’ve had personell replacements, but ‘forgot’ to inform the new PR/support person where to find stuff.

Straight from the comments section :

“Tyler has stepped back from front-end Mercenaries fulfillment and has been exclusively helping with logistics. Forward me the information you have to [email protected].

I apologize for your experience. Being real, I only just noticed this thread and I have sent some notes to the project manager to get started on this, but any other information you may have will hopefully help.

One simply cannot fake this level of incompetence.
Just imagine how big this IP could have been if the team running the show was somewhat capable …
I doubt they’d be matching GW, but they’d be pretty damned close.

It looks like the new guy is actively reading and responding to the comments on the kickstarter.

Maybe CGL got lucky and hired a competent person this time around ?
