general

People paid for them

take the money and leave

both sides are awful

he was legally bound to do this by contract

not pay people back

because it would take too long

He's not legally bound I don't think m

no the killing the project not paying people back you idiot

where is the contract in kickstarter because that is something I don't understand

Donating to kickstarters is a bad choice

that is true fire

^

Its called not scamming people bopit.

This is what urealms is paying for Kappa

Donating is a risk, when the risk falls flat the doners are not to blame.

If he lies and claims he is still working on it, or pretends it does not exists and ignores it despite not working on it, it moves into the realm of a scam

yeah

and he could have tired to get away with that scam

Now at the very least he can say it was a long drawn out mistake

you do realize that is an option right?

He could have also robbed a bank so he had the money to finish the game

do you realize that was an option

Not really Bopit

yes

it was

we are acting within a rational legal framework

Everyone would've been outraged

not one where people break the law

there is never absolutes

of course he could break the law

no fucking shit

he could go murder his backers so no one complained too

he could do many things. This was the bare minimum he had to do

fullstop

Is running off with the money really illegal if he at least tried to work on it for this long though?

I disagree

I do not reward people for doing the bare minimum

Or is canadian law different for kickstarter

idk

either way, it is a scam in my book if you kill a project you were payed for in secret

And is "trying" to pay back

he realised a video on his youtube

he probably got sued

not just to his patreons

no fucking shit

to his youtube audience

"scam" implies intent though

Yeah

because the backers were not his patreons

Because I bet most of the backers didn't support his patreon because they aren't stupid

He also released an update on the kickstarter saying it failed

he could have released it to his kickstarter backers

again, the bare minimum

he did leg

i mean just them

but anyway

I disagree that this was bare minimum

What really impresses me is that Rob's kept footage of all the pervious UQ failures in his vid

Rob did the bare minimum to keep his credibility somewhat intact

and I respect rob for admitting to his failure

I disrespect him less

it was a good thing to do and I respect him for that

And I agree Bopit I don't think it was the minimum either

this is my opinion

he admitted he failed because it was literally the only thing he could do

and I disagree leg

It is the minimum if he values his integrety

^^^^^^

This

I am giving Rob the benifit of the doubt that he tries to remain consistant with his ideals. He is bad at it, but I think he tries

so this is the bare minimum by his own standards

That's what is really important for rob right now

I think he has been trying over and over again to chip away at UQ, and fails each time. But this is the first he's really stopped believing he could do it

Hence the video

yeah

it finally killed him

You can tell Rob is going through shit again

100% Pika

Yeah I can hear it in his voice

with the whole gender tweet, his freakout at shit that does not matter
