  1. I just found your channel because of your FF14 videos and now you drop a video on one of my favourite topics – scam mmos. I got lucky this week 😄

  2. About the con artist question: there isnt one.

    I really wonder, how these guys ever get a job in the industry again. No way the internet doesnt remember these names and if the company isnt super bad, they will look them up.

    And finally at the guys actually spending money. Do your research.I dont say crowdfounding or investing is a bad thing, but if you really dont value your money, I know a certain bank account, who will be happy about it. And dont worry, its in safe hands. No need to worry about ever having the issue about handling it.

  3. Pax Dei will be another con.
    Star Citizen is the best con just much bigger scale, not a scam, a fully running con, taking way more money than it needs, slow progress, pledge store sucked in loads of fools

  4. Promising unrealistic goals
    Check
    Asking for laughably little money to do said goals
    Check
    Asset flips
    Check
    Several delays before a failed/dropped launch
    Check

    And all these people probably graduated to crypto scammer.
    Remember folks, if somebody is promising something too good to be true, chances are it is. At the very least I'd just be skeptical and watch before shelling money into it.

  5. I can't even begin to understand how come some fools commit in the range of 10k US$ (or more) for a proposal of a Dream World, that's not released, when SL – Second Life – is just that and in existence since 2004 and going strong to this day under the ownership and administration of a reputable developer Linden Labs… how come someone can be so easily fooled is beyond my ability to understand… what is wrong with the world, are we now all brainless..??..

  6. i had wondered what had happened with CoE, so I read Jeremy's blog and found out his court case got dismissed. I was angry when i read that and in his blog post he writes how he was so happy. It also felt like he was dancing and giving the middle finger to those who filled a law suit against him. I scrolled further om his blog and he post the usual no tangible update posts. Where he writes long posts just to show how "busy" he was, how this one feature he's trying to do took so long. Ever since he won the lawsuit, he hasn't bothered updated his youtube page. I know he was just using the youtube page to show the courts he was still "working" on the "game".

  7. Kickstarter is part of the problem, they should control the projects on their platform to prevent scams. i just find absurd people give away thousend of money away for games developing, i think as all firms the investment should come from the companies themself, not the gamers…but it's not my money, everyone is free to do what they want with them.

  9. Informative video, and very well put together. It is certainly wild the future we are entering, where it's becoming so easy to create a beautiful game without doing any work and trick people into thinking it's the real deal. This applies to a lot more than gaming, of course, as you well know. I wonder where we go from here.

  10. Game studios and publishers are asking players to give more and more up front while also telling them to expect less finished products at initial delivery. Charging full price for early access and offering premium "founder" investment or support tiers normalize this and make the space ripe for these types of failures (and some outright scams), especially in the MMO space where the development cycles are traditionally very long and delivery is more often delayed. These investments are not guaranteed, and many are very risky. Never invest more than you are prepared to lose, and do your due diligence on the people and organizations behind game development. Caveat emptor!

  11. I am going to give you the most revolutionary MMO ever for 2 million dollars and 18 months of work. That alone is so unbelievable I can't believe that so many paid in.

    I am happy to see Lucky is getting better at not laughing during the sponsor spot.

    It is amazing how little people know basically about game development that they think anything good could be made on these shoestring budgets and short timelines.

  12. One thing I found quite Amazing is during the Identity section when talking about how he set up another studio to be hired by his main one for that Furballs game – in the sidebar of the website you are showing – it has the devs as: Phony Games Inc. While this might be inclined to make you think mobile phone games – it seems more spelt like Phony meaning 'False'. Like a tongue in cheek way of letting you know it's fake. . . LOL.
