Exodus: Grand Melee

Seems that we've got a neat-o strategy mech game that is currently in development. Apparently going to allow player factions and whatnot.
Pretty cool. Like being a commander in the Inner Sphere. At least, that's what it seems like.
A shame it's not got even a tenth of its total goal, with only 15 days left.

Thoughts? Seen this before?

Meh, looks like more F2P garbage to me.  All the backer rewards are game store points.

Game Store Points will be used to purchase premium content from the game store, which will have lots of items for sale to players for affordable prices. The game store will focus on minor character enhancements, PvE missions and campaigns, cosmetic items, and single use convenience items. The game store is intended to provide players with an alternative path to unlocking premium content without a heavy time investment into the game.

Character Enhancements:

    single use pilot damage reduction (1 hp, only in 1 battle)
    re-spec a pilot's skill tree (multiple use limitations apply)
    faster experience gain for individual pilots  (+10% exp)
    character name/portrait changes
    extra character slots
    +more

Convenience items:

    advanced AI management of faction territories (time limited)
    combat unit components for repairs/production
    component repair kits; multiple types, and sizes, to meet player needs
    qty of delivered food/water (limitations apply)
    qty of delivered basic resources (limitations apply)
    factory production queue priority access (your order gets pushed to the front of the line, single use per order)
    privately hired construction crews (no support infra/construction crew required to build for x points of infra construction, limitations apply)
    privately hired repair technicians (no repair facilities / technicians required to repair x points of damage, limitations apply)

Haha, no thanks.

Wow. I love how people aren't actually stupid and did react to the stupidity of backer rewards and future of this project.

And I do hate how '4x games' title has been spat, pee'd and shat on these days. Endless Space might be a 4x game, but this...
