Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Has it really been seven years since Far West was funded?

I don't have a problem with crowdfunding at all. I do have a problem with Kickstarter as a company. It makes me happy to see some of my favorite publishers taking things in-house and weening themselves off of KS.

But at Spinachcat points out - the method of success is pretty well established. But for people that are first-timers, I'm always leery.

I'm following the development of Gamefound to see if it can be KS 2.0 for crowdfunded games, but we'll see if backers actually flock to them vs relying on KS.

Second, after Gossamer Worlds Compendium for Gossamer & Shadow was delivered, not many excuses suffice. It was delivered 21 months late. The reason? It was funded in March 2016. In July 2016 the creator was killed in a car accident. His widow worked with the other members of the project to get the original creator's work finished and pulled the project together. When Steve died I figured that was that, but the project still got delivered and while late, not nearly as late as others with smaller hurdles. Miranda Russell and company set a pretty high bar for others.

Okay, I never heard of this. But if some guy can deliver a Kickstarter game from beyond the grave, ain't nobody else got any excuse otherwise.

Twelve years.

Twelve YEARS!

I posted my original comment in 2017.  It's early/mid 2023 now, and things are what they currently are.

I'm guessing Moller will release a flying care before this thing launches.

Does GMS have kids? Maybe he's playing the long game, and expecting them to finish it...

This is just really sad.  How does he even still have a career and how do people still trust him after this?

I read one of his blog posts and he said something about having a teen daughter.  This was some time back so she is probably in her twenties now.

Has he made any new promises on this or is he radio silent right now?

Hopefully it shut him up.  At least for a little while.

I seem to remember seeing some sort of promise in an email (as a backer, who got a refund except for the price of a PDF) earlier this year. I didn't read it thoroughly and deleted it.

Totally understood.  After all, after all of this time we know how good his word is. If I were in your spot I would be thinking the same thing, oh boy another promise he won't keep and then delete.

Another question: How is it that no one has taken legal action against him.  Even in small claims court. 

I know it takes money but I am surprised he hasn't been reported to the attorney general of his state.

I mean 12 years is a bit much.

Buyer beware, GhostNinja. With Kickstarter, people are buying... a promise.

It is better to wait until there are tangible goods or services to buy, rather than waiting on a promise.

Yep.  I got screwed on a kickstarter and since then I will only buy things that area produced that I can buy.  Sure the kickstarter says that they are almost finished, etc but I just dont trust them.

I consider it money lost but it will never happen again.

If nothing else, 12 years makes me feel a little less stupid about "Chronicles of Future Earth" which is only 6 years out.
