I asked him to elaborate on his credentials when the Kickstarter was happening and he wouldn't. I'd show you a link but he deleted my post. Throw in that nobody has been able to find any evidence that he ever worked directly for Microsoft. His credit on Fable specifically shows his contracting company in bracket. Basically all evidence points to him working only as a contract tester and there's absolutely no evidence showing that he worked at Microsoft as an actual developer. Don't you think that's something you'd mention on a Kickstarter or LinkedIn if that was the case?
I'm Elvis. How do you KNOW I'm not him? Because you're not an idiot.
So he's a scammer, but he's continuing to host his website, be a member of the community, and post new designs and updates from the game because that's the most efficient way to scam? Why is he posting this stuff and continuing his online presence if he's a scammer?
Again, maybe he is or isn't a scammer, I have no friggin clue, I just know you guys don't have anything solid on him that I've seen so far, and you're piling on and defaming. What if he's actually NOT a scammer and he's not even here to defend himself while you guys shit on him and spread negative PR and try to get news sites to post smears on him? What if he actually never intended to mislead anyone about his project in any way, and this happens?
I won't risk being a part of that, so I won't call someone out on something without there being *proof*.
When you ask for KS money, it's expected you use it to fund your project. Not for a vacation. Ship first, take a vacation after. You have a dog in this fight since you begged for KS money, too. And you're using the "funded over the goal as profit" while you had stretch goals. How unprofessional. Exactly why, as interesting as your game looks, why I'd never buy it months in advance.
That's your own expectation that you invented, because KS stated in their blog that overfunding can be considered profit and that's perfectly valid.
*THEY SAID IT*.
I never begged for anything, either, and I don't think I'd recommend taking vacations on KS money. I don't even know if that's what he did. I'm just trying to assume the best about people until there's a reason not to. Honestly, I'm not sure why you're trying to come after me and characterize me negatively. That makes no sense.
I should be clear, again, I don't advocate doing frivolous things with excess funding. I'm just saying you guys don't have anything solid on him in terms of him breaking the rules or scamming. There's no actual proof here of any foul play.
