The weird thing is, Caspian turned the game so completely pay to win anyway.
The sad truth is that developers are ADD monkey divas who need a whip cracked for them to stay focused and get things done, so that they don't go years with the only thing to show being 'Oh.uhh.did we do anything this year to further the game development? Well.let's do another sale.' This is why publishers are necessary evils. They don't want to sit there for ten years with their hand out going 'Alright, you going to pay me back now?' If you were not willing to change your plans to suit the people who are willing to front the majority of the funds, then you should not have made any plans based off of getting those and then blast through all of your kickstarter funds. Of course investors and publishers will ask for changes! Anything to get the game out faster so that they can get their money back.
More importantly, the talk about investors compromising his artistic vision of the game frustrates me as well because of how obtuse he is. Both incompetent and promising things well beyond their own capabilities. The lack of taking responsibility for this farce from Caspian even in the end puts him right on the level of Jason Appleton and GreedMonger for me. The drama was all entertaining but this.this is just sad.
