It’s worth pointing out that the survey also allowed anyone to say that they were backer, with no verification. So the filtering allowed isn’t particularly useful and the results themselves are suspect (at least with respect to that question). It would not have been hard to generate a backer only survey to ask that…

I’ve not had the best of experiences interacting with the 505 reps personally, but I’m glad to hear that they’ve been responsive to you, and the community more broadly.

Interesting. Thank you for your response.

As I said before, I did write that in response to a comment by JeffCross this morning. If you look at the comment in question:

To the best of my knowledge, I have not stated that you called me a liar. Our disagreements are of a different nature.

Again, in your previous comment, you attempted to rebut an argument I didn’t make (but which the article did), and here you seem to have misread the line where I pointed that out. I’m not sure what to tell you at this point.

I certainly apologize if I’ve come across as salty. My purpose at the outset was simply to disagree with the article’s premise by pointing out that the Bloodstained kickstarter campaign was simply not particularly sensitive to Backer concerns, and I provided details to that effect.

From your comments, I suspect that you may want to reread what I wrote, and the article above. You are attempting to rebut the article’s stance on the events leading to the art overhaul, not mine. I already disagree with the article, but for different reasons than you.

With regards to 505, I’m afraid that we must agree…

Had the vote as to what happened the backer exclusive content itself been exclusive to the backers then I would have had no issue with it. But it wasn’t. The general public was allowed to vote on it as well, and unsurprisingly, they also wanted access. And most of the possibilities offered would allow 505 to sell it…

Yeah, it’s been a bad day for my use of ‘s.
Ah well, I can only endeavor to do better next time.

No, I was trying to avoid saying it’s a contract, because as you say and as I alluded to, it’s not. A contract would have consequences for failure to deliver, whereas at best a Kickstarter can be used for possible FTC enforcement (unlikely) or a backer lawsuit (also unlikely given the costs involved). Now, given 505's…

From your comment, it’s a bit unclear if you’re a moderator of multiple official forums, or if you’re an admin of both the Kickstarter comments and the official forums?
Since you are an admin, do you happen to know if feedback in either location has actually shaped development of the game?

Actually, I’ve been lucky enough to avoid being on a cancelled platform thus far. I did find their handling of the platform cancellation to be particularly odious though. I remember their 505 rep trying to float the concept that the whole thing (violation of Kickstarter’s TOS) was a nonissue because, after all, you…

A kickstarter campaign is a legally binding compact (although it has no enforcement mechanism, so it’s a toothless one). But if you promise a platform and then renege, you are supposed to offer a refund to affected Backers. Bloodstained did that for the first few cancellations, nowadays, not so much.
As for them…

As a Kickstarter backer of Bloodstained, it has not seemed to me that backer input has had much effect, if any, on the course of development. If anything, 505 Games (Bloodstained’s publisher) has gone out of it’s way to minimize backer input.

Things like this, while cool, have been used in the past to hack consoles.  For example, SmileBasic for 3DS gave rise to the BasicSploit.  That would, I assume, be why Nintendo came down on this.

Jokingly, this will allow them to say the fans requested it when they add in the ability to buy the lot?

I always wanted to see Bruce Campbell as Lobster Johnson, as was planned in the Del Toro films.  It would have been keen.

Do you wanna mock a Snow-Bran?

I can understand wanting to make the character not Boba Fett, since it would give them considerably more freedom (also, he’s probably dead?). But doing that and then making him Boba Fett but we filed of the serial numbers, is kinda strange?
