If inXile had done in the past decade what Silicon Knights did, I wouldn't have given then a bit of my money either. They were a small company that did contract work and mobile games to get by on because big publishers weren't interested in the kinds of games they wanted to make. And none of their games are terrible, just not great.
The interview that came out SEVEN months later, in the middle of a crowdsourcing campaign that's ground to a halt far from its goal. The video was also way overlong and said nothing that should lead anybody to believe that Dyack is just a poor put upon soul that nasty anonymous sources are trying to tear down.
I mean, are you honestly believing Dyack over multiple SK employees, meticulously interviewed and cross-referenced over the course of months? You're believing the guy with his hand out, begging for your money, saying "Come on, ABF, trust me! Everything's going to go right this time!" Geez, man, I know you want Eternal Darkness 2 really bad, but use a little bit of common sense here.
Like how originally they said that the money you gave them was a donation and they were under no obligation at all to give you anything in return? Or how they really, totally need $1.5 million, but they'll take whatever you give them and make something with it anyway? Or how they get your money instantly and get to keep it even if the goal isn't reached? Yes, they changed the wording, AFTER people pointed out how bad it all looked [and AFTER their campaign flopped right out the gate].
And for that X-Men game. And for running Silicon Knights right into the ground.
But hey, if you wanna hand over your hard-earned money to Dennis Dyack and his buddies in the hopes that maybe you'll eventually get an Eternal Darkness sequels that's as good as you remember the original being, then you just go right ahead. I'm highly skeptical of the entire affair, however, and won't give them any of mine.
