Yeah, call the tips number or local authorities if you have any actual, real information, otherwise shut-up. Jesus, you know how irresponsible and dangerous it is to accuse people of crimes they didn't commit? What's wrong with you?

And at the same time PAX isn't nearly as accessible as E3 since it takes place at a much smaller venue.

Let's see how the games turn out, Brian, before declaring this a permanent new model. Don't forget we're just seeing the beginning of all this. As projects fail, don't live up to expectation, people are scammed, and general Kickstarter fatigue sets in this model may not last, or at least be viable for most. I know I'm getting sick of seeing fat cats who can afford to do their own stuff standing around with their hat in hand. And for every one good project there's 100 bad ones to wade through and that will only get worse as time progresses. Yeah, I think ol' Bri is jumping the gun somewhat here.

I wasn't following the KS for this, but am I correct in gleaning that they never disclosed a licensing agreement with Microsoft, and what strings were attached to that? If so, I'd go so far as to say I couldn't trust them for any future projects...

It's mention in the pitch video (@1:55) that they had to get a license (not MS specifically), as well as the front page:

The game we want to make is very humble by modern blockbuster game standards but it is still way beyond the ability of a small start-up to fund by itself. The restraints on the license from Microsoft made it impossible to get established publishers interested in Shadowrun and so it remained just a dream for a long time until Jordan saw the recent successes of some other veteran designers on Kickstarter.

Also mentioned in Update 41

So basically this stuff has been known from the start, if you read what they posted on KS. So people are bitching about nothing. They are delivering what they said they would deliver, and if for some strange reason you still feel cheated, you can get a refund.

What the hell is the problem?

Look at a company like Comcast. I think they hold a world record for the most BBB complaints against them, yet their prices still go up by nickle-and-diming the consumer and they laugh all the way to the bank.

News like this makes my gut turn. On the one hand this is SE's own doing. On the other hand I don't want to see them pushed into a financial corner and hop on the derivative "dudebro" train to get out of it. Or heaven forbid stop using Steamworks.
