_{Pokemon Quartz? It had an abomination named Sever, didn't it?}

[Sirus]

* Sirus awards USEC cookies but neglects to provide milk

More specifically, I was quoting an LP of that game

[USEC_OFFICER]

Well, yeah. Of course it was from an LP of the game. How else would anybody know about that monstrosity? _{Though to be fair, it was one of his first hacks and he did actually complete the thing. Which is more than can be said about most projects.}

[Servant Corps]

The FTC has fined a man $111,793.71 for not fulfilling his Kickstarter project and failing to give out refunds*.

*Technically, the FTC and the man agreed to a settlement, and the fine itself is suspended because the man has no money. The man himself raised $122,874 from the Kickstarter, so he probably got off easy.

[MrWiggles]

Yea. I read that story. I totally remember that shit show. Good on the FTC for getting involved.

[Loud Whispers]

Using lovecraft for scams is unforgiveable

[scriver]

But... If he has no money? Where did the money go?

[Loud Whispers]

"Other projects," presumably with blackjack and hookers

[MrWiggles]

But... If he has no money? Where did the money go?

Everyday life expenses, and some luxury purchases and I think a new car?

But, they had such good graphics, how could it not be genuine!
Edit: I just noticed this gem on their twitter:

Wait! Only $5 to have your name in anonymity code.... We're sold

...What? This is the complete anthesis of anonymity.

But... If he has no money? Where did the money go?

But then he has money! Money in the shape of objects is still money!

[MrWiggles]

If he had any assets worth liquifying, it would have been done so.

"hey guys I have a vague idea for a story give me money so I can quit my job and write a book"

[nenjin]

His stock image there for the campaign really captures my imagination.

[TempAcc]

Thats very strange, there are many ways to self publish a shitty book, and it must not be that hard considering the kind of stuff you can find, you dont have to go through the public shame of a kickstarter to do it.
