Areal Kickstarter update calls out a couple of the sites for expressing "unprofessional" skepticism about West Games' proposed first-person shooter, citing Forbes and VG247 by name along with a list of users who they feel have been engaging in a campaign to troll them. They also offer an interesting conspiracy theory to explain why it appears that the project's funding total is rising without a corresponding increase in their number of backers: "They are now claiming that our success on Kickstarter is fabricated, whilst conveniently failing to mention that people are using multiple accounts to make a bunch of 1 dollar pledges, and every time a new backer comes along, they remove 1 or 2 pledges, so that it looks like our sum is increasing without any new backers."
