Mythic Effect and My Thoughts as a Backer. 

As a backer of Hel, and someone who missed out on Anyistar. I hope they combine the 2 and offer something even greater. And yeah at this point I'm only looking at late pledging for ANYTHING. I want to see what a company is doing post funding a project b4 I get involved anymore.

I mean I’ll be 100% transparent. From 2016-2022 I was a superbacker year after year, since all this stuff with Mythic in combination with a few others and a general horrible lack of transparency and proper management from many kickstarters…I haven’t backed a single game.

I was a backer for Confrontation ( French company), and backer for Hel (French)...

I am not backing anything by mythic again

The difference between Myth and Mythic is what they knew *during* campaigns. Based upon statements from former employees, market conditions, and their own financial situation we can be very sure that Mythic knew they could not deliver on Monsterpocalypse as promised during the campaign. If so, they knowingly lied and used those lies to entice people to give them money. If so, there are a variety of laws in their home jurisdiction, as well as internationally, that they may have broken ... and when that results in millions of dollars being taken from people with no belief they could deliver on what they said they were going to deliver ... that is potentially a major crime. If so, this is not just a failure to perform ... it was a horrendous evil against thousands of people. If so, it was not a lost bet - it was a theft.

I really appreciate you doing this video Lance. I didnt back the two projects mentioned here but i did back darkest dungeon by mythic and will probably not see the wave 2. I feel bad for everyone that backed these games.

Unfortunately I'm to the point that I would rather pay eBay prices instead of taking the chance on crowdfunding anymore. The plus side is I know the product actually exists and I can get real reviews on it the down side is the cost is much higher usually.

Tough break on the projects you have backed, Lance. I have a very similar taste in games as you but somehow have managed to dodge all the Kickstarter disasters so far (didn't have the funds at the time of project). Only project that I'm writing off is Cyber Odyssey by Red Joker. Sadly that one looks like to be 200 dollars in the river 😒

I think CMON was hoping to improve their reputation with the community for their mistakes by stepping in to save Mythic's failed projects. I will be glad to get my copy of Hell as long as shipping doesn't cost as much as a new game.
