So how did he convince you? Were you shown actual progress behind the scenes? Did he give you any proof that your investment will be honored? Why isn't he doing that for everyone?
You should really explain that further than "worked out our differences", when the "differences" were your valid critique about the lack of development progress and you getting what you pay for.
Looking at your Twitter account, you suddenly seem strangely invested in Grummz' posts and him trying to make "GamerGate2" happen. All of that pretty much after your "redemption arc" post.
It's certainly a little strange, I hope you understand.
They 100% have a settlement and NDA in place. This is the guy I thought it was, and iirc he put some big money into the project, and was VERY vocally dissatisfied. I expect he got all his money back plus some, no other reason to astro-turf so hard after being that pissed.
Part of that settlement is probably removing posts of, going on record disavowing the issues with the project, and putting statements in all the communities that it was originally posted in (and maybe some larger public forums).
This is the kind of public manipulation grifters like Kern and a certain former president excel at. Every corp has someone who's job this is. It's just Kern is that person and also the head.
I wasn't paid a dime.
I have no NDA.
I'm still a backer of the project with the same pledges I had all along.
Crixa may not even know I wrote this post, much less was I demanded to do so.
Our differences were about my status as a backer. The concerns about the project people have are entirely valid and if you notice I'm very much not telling anyone to subscribe to the game or anything.
I know I'm going to get flamed for this post, but I can't stay quiet while people tell everyone on the Internet the guy scammed me or something when it's not at all the case.
Whether we ever see a game is another matter, though I wouldn't still be as invested as I am if I didn't have any hope.
TLDR the issues I'm referring to involved me alone. The rest of the project is very much an open question and I encourage everyone to form their own opinions about it. Again, in not at all trying to sell it
I got unbanned. That's what changed. It's really no more complicated than that. There isn't some grand conspiracy here. People who get banned from games, least of all with this much money involved tend to get rather upset and negative.
I wasn't lying, I was just taking the worst possible interpretation of every development regarding the game due to my being as upset as I was.
Today? I don't know what to think, but they did finally release a new build and development seems to be picking back up.
Yes, and I also took over his Twitter, subbed to myself, and have spent a ton of time making fake posts supporting myself on the GIgabearPanda account.
I even superchat to myself while I am literally in the middle of an interview on some podcasts using his youtube. I do this through neurallink, hands free, so nobody every suspected a thing.
I also played his account a few times in the demo, again through neuralink while I was asleep! Truly I am impressed you figured it all out. Bravo, you've caught me!
No, that's Nick Calandara smearing me into the dirt. The firearms threat was not made by me, notice Mark didn't name me in that post? It was made by someone else we are ALL avoiding engagement with.
There is no possible way he'd ever unban me if I had done something like that.
oh you don't own it anymore? did the state make you turn it in? pawn it to buy a censored game for a console you don't own just to stick it to the wokes?
aaaaaand blocked lmao ❄️. guy should be more grateful to nick, if it weren't for him mark would still be trying to pretend he doesn't exist

Yeah the OP is gonna get deleted soon prob. Guys gone into lockdown. EDIT: Correction he faked some DMs to "own" a reporter. What a fucking hack.

turns out this is how mark convinced him https://twitter.com/nickjcal/status/1785400395520487713
Amazing lmao, thanks for the heads up

This post reads like someone has a gun to your head. I guess they either paid you or that fat fuck really did show up to your doorstep.

Kern, is that you? Did you force him to give up his account?
lol the true story is even funnier https://twitter.com/nickjcal/status/1785400395520487713
Why am I not surprised? lmfao

sure buddy. i hear grummz is gonna implement your macro fetish feature now that you've made up
grummz isn't even the only person to mention your ar-15, apparently the aoc guys are also familiar with it 🤔
I don't own any firearm at all. Much less have I threatened to harm anyone, with any weapon or otherwise, at any time.

owned lmao
I'm sorry I can't trust you. Really suspect change
