I agree. I admit I had my doubts but Tom and Dark raised some arguments
against the possibility of scamming, arguments that bear serious
consideration. First off, mainstream companies allow preordering all te
time...well game resalers do anyway since you don't necessarily buy
mainstream games directly from the maker. But more to the point, if Jake was
really scamming he would have charged more, both for the preorder price and
the full price. If he got a total of 100 preorders, that's $9.99 times a
hundred. That adds up to $988.00. Times that by two, say he got 200
preorders, and you get $1976.00. Still less than two grand. And even if
nobody preordered and everybody paid full price, at most he would make just
under three grand, assuming he sold 200 copies of the game. ANd even if he
got 200 preorders and then 200 full price payments that still only adds up
to five grand at most. That's hardly enough to cover general real life
expenses these days, particularly since Jake is 26 and most likely lives on
his own. And if he's sighted he's got car insurance payments to consider.
And we're not even talking about the cost of sound libraries. So even if he
was the scamming type he wouldn't be able to skim enough money from the
community to make it worth the effort. So no, despite recent events I don't
believe the scam theory and nor should any of the rest of us set our minds
in stone on the issue, particularly not at this early stage. And yes, it is
still too early to jump to conclusions.

This is just the crap why I don't promote prepay for early release.
There is just to much pardon the word, but way to much BITCHING when you
go that rout. Its always from those that know nothing about what it takes
to write or release a game. Even though there are demos being played or
tested. You still get this crap!
people hear these words! Your childish petty bitch en! Is going to make
even more devs quit! And those wanting won't! Just because of all the
flack they get over a game.
The only thing I can say is GROW UP!

something and nothing's come of it. And it's been long enough that at
least some people would have received emails from im by now. And these
people would have posted on the forum. Not only that but he hasn't even
bothered to address the points people have raised that would seem to
indicate that this is indeed a scam. So I'm no longer sure what to
believe.

>> Hello all! Welcome to the beginning of the series. Many new
things have been added in version 1.0 I'm definitely excited about things
and want to personally thank you for your patience. We are emailing
download links to the game for the pre-order gamers, and need to send
them out per name. If your link has not been sent yet, don't panic, we'll
get to your name as fast as possible, please continue to be patient. Pre
order link will change to a Direct order of the game. and Downloads will
be fast from that point.
>> A few tips for those who begin to play. Jumping in the game is
not automatic, instead you must get as close as you can to an edge or
platform and jump while pressing in a direction. There is a lot to
explore, but If you get lost, dont forget to use Scout, he is your best
friend and should be used as often as possible to measure surroundings
and assist in navigation.
