Why not both? 

Or you could just wait until after the show or after each conference, when all that information is out there, and let the rest of us still have our fun. This seems to be no different, for you, than if a leaker tells you this information before each event.

Imagine for a second that instead of announcing Keanu Reeves at Microsoft’s press conference they announce it in a gaming magazine. Or Forza Horizon 4 Lego Expansion was announced in an interview. It wouldn’t be as exciting.

You are never as anonymous as you think you are online.

Back in the (very) early 2000's I worked in retail and saw in the inventory system that a new, unannounced Palm Pilot was coming soon (The Palm Tungsten T - I said very early 2000's!). I posted about it (no photos of the system, nothing) on some Palm forum I frequented back then. A few days later my GM called me into…

Sabi sounds like an asshole going around ruining everbody else’s surprises.

Secondly, what the fuck is an intimacy teacher

An intimacy teacher is someone who will tell you what you can already Google or learn from common sense, yet will charge you lots of money so you can brag to your friends about how enlightened you are.

Awaiting the moment when they combine it with real-life. Use it as a recruiting ground for remote-control pilots.

Imagine if this had gone unnoticed for longer.

I hope! This current one is super awful. 

I’m having flashbacks to Atari saying that programmers were no more important than the people assembling the cartridges, and didn’t need to be credited. 😏

*To the tune of the Game of Thrones theme*

Completely disagree, someone could come out of the woodwork for so many different things it’s insane. I don’t want to be playing military simulation games a decade from now where they are so afraid of getting sued they can’t use realistic weapons, vehicles, technology, hell even clothing designs. This just opens up…

So very true. If you’re the sole developer on the game, you can maybe squeak by with 120k for a three-year-game... Since it will inevitably take four+ years to develop.

have made billions of dollars by using AM General’s iconic HUMVEE® military vehicle and its distinctive trade dress

120k really isn’t much to make a video game with if you’re paying employees. That’s a staff of four, maybe five if you’re paying peanuts for one year.

As a backer, I feel like Raum should just cut his losses and consider it a failed project. I’m sure this isn’t popular (and I know Kickstarter’s TOS — sort of — disagree), but I view my backings as a potential investment in future art, not an ironclad agreement to deliver me a product.

Also, hot take, but replaying…

Did this half-assed work for Owen’s ‘shop contest years ago.

You say that like a multi-billion dollar corporation can’t also be cheap.
