That really is the core of the issue. I don't remember if it was mentioned that this was winterkewls first game, or that it wasn't even their full-time job. But even if it wasn't, it was safe to assume that it really was not a sure bet that the game would appear.

Its probably partly so it doesn't look so bad. Because of women were to try out for those sports and ALWAYS fail to get in, people would complain that it wasn't fair, since everyone was allowed to play, but due to competition, some people couldn't.

I must have missed where they said when they would do it.

Exactly. Whether it was purposeful or not it was major mismanagement and MAYBE some shady dealings. Either they really didn't know what they were doing or they padded those costs a lot.

Of course its not going to stop them playing minecraft on their channel, its likely where the vast majority of their money comes from. No judgement there either, if i was making money doing something i'd keep doing it even if it wasn't my favorite thing in the world. Thats called a job.

I totally agree, and i'd almost be okay with it except you would think she should be more water-tribey, just like Aang was more Airbendery, an avatar with a strong leading towards their own culture make sense. But Korra is especially aggressive and really very pro-action.

Not to mention just 'random gaming group' it was a random gaming group that had never shown any ability to create something or manage something or produce something of this size and they wanted half a mil to try.

'Pst, hey buddy. I hear you're going to get a big half-mil payout for that game thing? I really want in on that. I've got myself lined up for lucasarts but it'll be in awhile, think i can't get in on that.. yeah like, 35k would be nice, thanks'

Thats exactly what i read it as and i mentioned it above but they basically say they took time off their jobs to make it (good, you should be working full time on a game you were already paid 500k for), but then they go onto say that they had to go back to their old jobs and RED FLAG, RED FLAG.

Its funny you say that because i have heard an unverified rumour from a few people that point heavily to the idea that they wanted to make this game because they had a falling out with Notch or something and it was a bid to cash in on the minecraft craze.

I used to like them more than i do. I sort of feel like they mad it big really quickly and didn't quite know how to handle it. They were cool when they mad funny youtube things, now they are this huge thing and i dunno how much i like it anymore.

I'm still waiting on my copy, I'll be satisfied and just cop to the loss if i ever actually do get TUG. At least its something.

There is a release by the Winterkewl guy that mentions the contract. He goes on to say if he had 'more experience in this business i might have seen that coming' or that he would have put better safeguards in contracts. Because the way he was contracted meant that the guy in question could leave, not repay any of the…

"We love this guy, we trust him, you should trust him, he'll do great things for the game"

I played for a bit in the beta. I have a problem where i can't play BF games at all, i get massive rubber banding no matter what. BF3, BF4 and Hardline are all the same.

I backed it and i'm not exactly angry or anything but i would like to see where some of this money went..

I feel like this is important

I find being taken care of by another human incredibly awkward, even just someone sitting around helping me out let alone existing for emotional support as a profession. This is despite the fact i would, on the other hand, love someone around for emotional support or whatever.

I don't think anyone is saying she's to blame per se, just that sadly by pointing out her work is based heavily on someone elses you're going to make her look bad no matter what. Its her fathers fault more than anything but it's still going make her look bad no matter waht.

I'm so glad Zuko is flying around. Still my favorite fireguy
