Ultimate just showed up. Gonna give it a shot, and deep dive this weekend.

Can any experienced players give me some tips?

"West, who left because of family issues, has been gone since last May, according to one reliable source who asked not to be named."

This isn't a sign for anything.

This seems like an important piece of information to leave out, Patrick!

I am dissapoint.

I didn't have that information from my sources. Can't report what I don't know.

Wrong war Patrick, 1916 was the first world war with Imperial Germany. The Nazi's came later.

D'oh. Thanks.

Inaccurate thread title! I actually think Conan O'Brien provides an incredibly refreshing viewpoint on what we all take for granted in modern video games.

This is a good lesson for people to realize how much this stuff costs. Seriously I think some people think DLC just falls out of the sky.

This definitely accounts for some of the frustration you see from developers working on downloadable content for a game that's released after the game's initial launch. I'm not defending the practice of why such DLC (like, say, Asura's Wrath's ending) exists in the first place, but to say it doesn't cost a substantial amount is to definitely miss the point. There's some miscommunication on both ends.

Am I wrong or does 48k sound really low for 8 people for 10 weeks? Technical staff no less.

No, you're not wrong. This is dirt cheap, and a rough financial road for the developers.

First off Patrick this is one of the best articles you have written. I hope you do more of this stuff, specifically spotlights on lesser known kickerstarters and greenlights.

Random thought though, you misspelled indiegogo in the second to last paragraph as indiegoto.

Keep up the good work!

Fixed, and appreciate you pointing that out. Hope to have more of this in the future, been happy with how many features I've been able to get up so far in 2013 versus 2012. Alex has done a great job with his editorials, too, he has another really good feature lined up for this week.

People willingess to trow money at kick-starters still bends my mind.

Ian Bogost's piece on Kickstarter for Fast Company has my favorite analysis of this phenomenon.

I'm hesitant to write many stories about Kickstarter projects because an article, it it provokes a certain level of sympathy, directly leads to financial donations. That makes me uncomfortable. I didn't actively pursue this story until it was over the funding line, and even then, my goal was not to necessarily highlight the Indiegogo part of it, and instead offer an examination of the $150K amount.
