SX255 630 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) lol was just a guffaw of exasperation at the ubiquity of the middleman's claws gogo Well, they have to make the money somehow. They need to pay the bank fees, expenses fees, and turn a profit, all while providing a convenient financial service of a bank all over the world... Just wish it was not as high as 11% from EVERY transaction. Maybe 5% Edited November 12, 2014 by SX255 1 Link to comment
Thorin Oakshield 260 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Out of curiousity, has everyone paid in Euro's; or have there been payments in US$ as well. If the latter happened, there's also the exchange rate to be kept in mind; as well as the commission the bank charges when exchanging money. And keep in mind that for gaming companies, 1 US$ = 1 Euro. It might explain the 11%, as the US$ has a lower value as the Euro. Thorin 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 If kickstarter been allowed, would Unbended have been allowed to keep more money for themselves? gogo 1 Link to comment

SX255 630 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 FAQ is updated Is there anything in modern ARPG you hate, and wish to avoid at any cost in UNBENDED? Well, we actually hate everything in modern ARPGs that doesn’t appear in UNBENDED. No, jokes aside. Personally, we’re annoyed with random stories, the fact that decisions that seem relevant ultimately stay without consequences and the gray monotony regarding enemies. Even main characters often can only be told apart by the color of their effects. 1 Link to comment

Thorin Oakshield 260 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Blimey! Thorin Link to comment
SX255 630 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Blimey! Thorin Their timing is amazing. On April Fools they announced their new game, on Christmas they changed gears and into what feels like "thank you and goodbye" (which it isn't). Makes you wander what they will pull on Easter.

Yoshio 91 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Aye, their timing is really amazing! Short before Christmas I was honestly thinking about, as I had some money left over, to support them but wanted to wait till after all the celebration. Now I feel happy that I didn't spent any money on that at all. Maybe it is a chance not take on my side but due to all the history now already with this whole project, I feel saver this way not having spent any money on it. Anyway, I wish them good luck on their process and on finding their path to what ever they are looking for. From now on I will have an even more critical eye on this project than I had already since after the first "change" in their "strategy". To all the rest of You out there, Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2015! Link to comment
Ironwill 135 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I never wanted to demoralize anyone but unbended needed at least a million 1 Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 True Ironwill, but everything has to start somewhere. I can safely say I did not see this coming. I'm quite shocked actually. The fact that they felt they needed to report their progress and that this put too much pressure on the project makes you think about the state of the plans... Too much too soon I guess. I sure hope the game will ever be. 1 Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Shocked here as well but I still think the game will be made. I think they went public too soon without any solid in-game features/gameplay setup yet. So nothing really to see for a bit and I think they were getting a lot of pressure to do so. I've known/talked with several of the developers (Since S1 for some of them) and still feel I can trust them. Maybe I'm wrong but my gut tells me I'm not. They had already said not to expect anything til late 2015. As much as I hate to wait, I will until then before I decide what to really think about all this. 1 Link to comment
Popular Post rm3000 85 Posted December 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2014 Now I feel happy that I didn't spent any money on that at all. Those of us who did spend some money got it back, at least I did. And I do understand the pressure they felt. That's what I didn't understand in the first place. When you're busy showing everything to everyone, you're not getting any work done. We had that discussion a while back at work - let people in and watch everything or make proper apointments in the first place and just sit the stragglers down in a waiting room. We went for the waiting room and it did work out rather good for us. On the progress of Unbended - we will just have to wait and see. In the mean time I have stuff for about five lifetimes available, should I get bored. 3 Link to comment

Popular Post gogoblender 3,070 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2014 I still feel I can trust them, though the news is kind of heart breaking. I completely understand them having to talk to us so much (and they did! ) while bringing the game alive. This is the game I not only want to play, but that I want to be a part of from it's genesis. Go Unbended! gogo gogo 2 Link to comment
Darrel 5 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Ah well. I was curious about this. Well glad other rpg's will keep me busy till this comes out. 1 Link to comment
