@mirado: Sure grab your popcorn and enjoy your entertainment while people try to help this guy achieve what he has worked so hard on for years. I'm sure you have better things to waste your cash on other than supporting the underdog.
And no he didn't throw a tantrum and try to spin it. He posted video proof years ago that clearly shows he planned the whole thing. Here it is if you want to see it:

I think I'm done with this thread for now. I just hope I helped a few people understand what this game is all about and why the developer deserves support. I also felt it was important that I point out some false information and speculation taken as fact that some members were posting here.
I thought the villains were Nintendo, Miyamoto, and Reggie and that this Kickstarter was for a "hack van" and not the game.
The Kickstarter is for a place (he was hoping for an office) and equipment for him to focus on working on the game for the next year or so. Whether that place is an office or a hack van is left for him to figure out now that the Kickstarter has been funded. The in-game character "Bob" is an indie game developer who feels that he has been wronged by gaming corporations and CEOs and so he turns into a villain that the main character "Yuu" tries to stop. There's more to the story of course but that's what I could gather from all the stuff Bob put out so far.
@oldirtybearon: I don't think its an issue of people "railing" against the game. The original topic of this thread was "Should a game like this be left to fail?" and the OP made some blanket statements arguing that the gaming community had gotten together and decided not to fund this game.
I am happy for the guy if it does end up being funded, but as a backer I wouldn't expect to ever see the end result.
Where exactly are you getting this from? I have not even implied that "the gaming community had gotten together and decided not to fund this game" and I have made that clear in previous posts. If this is how you decided to understand my OP, that's fine but please don't put words in my mouth. Oh, and in case you haven't seen it, there was a previous thread about this game posted by someone else and people decided to rail against it just the same.
@legend: Or maybe it's just a convoluted mess and you're giving him waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much credit. You keep wanting to explain what this is. If the message is so convoluted that it requires evangelists like you to explain anything about this game in a sane manner, it's likely not worth backing.
If someone asks what is this game about like he did, I will explain it to him. The Kickstarter needs a TL;DR version with nice pictures so people who don't want to spend a lot of time reading and watching everything can understand what the game is. The Kickstarter page could've been better like I said previously, but let's not forget that this is made by one guy who is currently facing financial difficulties. Also, I'm wondering why you keep coming back to this thread since you made it perfectly clear already that this game doesn't interest and you don't care for it at all.
