Amen brother! Paid for my 6:Siege from Mythic, refused to pay the extortion fee....and now they are selling MY game in retail. Never again with these thieves.
Re. Mythic-100% Satisfaction Guarantee. WTF! There are a lot of us who don't share this delusion?! I don't care if 6 Siege is the best game ever, my principles would not allow me to give anymore money to Mythic. They stole around £800 from me so they can f*** off!
No win situation on this. They only delivered half of the Darkest Dungeon board game. They then have started delivering part of 6:Siege using the money from this game to finish off making the second half of Darkest Dungeon. They are probably doing the sales on their website of 6:Siege to afford shipping for their their current Kickstarter customers. So many moving pieces and everything has to go just right but hopefully people that paid can get some of their games.
@@jtitus67 don't forget they have something like 5 or 6 more games left to deliver. They have found buyers for 2 of the games, but the rest are in the wind.
Michael Landon taught us long ago and we seem to have forgot "Only pay cash on the barrel..."
I'm stuck in Darkest Dungeon hell. At this point I'm just counting it as lost money and moving on. I got called out by King of Average for wishing Mythic all the best of luck getting cancer. I still wish that curse on them but other than that they aren't worth the time.
@@redshirtman1907 why call you out for that? It's just venting on the internet, and they've earned the bad will they receive.
@@thegimpygamer He thought we should be nice and respectful to them and shouldn't wish such horrible things on them.
Paypal saved my money on the Heroes of Normandie Pacific Kickstarter. Backed one from Flying Pig, a couple from Worthington OK. I have one out with Capsicum Games, Fighters of Europe currently, but it'll be the last one I back that is not from a trusted company like Flying Pig or Worthington. "Buyer Beware" is absolutely the watch word.
Glad I went with Game Theory Tables. Smoothest KS I ever experienced.
Yea but huge price difference. They offered a realistic product at a realistic price.
I heard a rumor that CMON just purchased all of Mythic Games including Darkest Dungeon and 6:Seige. Any truth to this?
First I'm hearing of it
Got caught once, lost $300. I will never do another Kickstart. The real loser in the end, the real guys who have real Kickstarts.
There are plenty of companies I wouldnt hesitate to kickstart if I wanted to, despite having been burnt twice.
I was heavy into Spartan Games Dystopian Wars when they went under and I lost close to $300.
I lost roughly $200 again on Rallyman Dirt when Holy Grail Games collapsed.
Then again aside from these two failed ones ive must have kicked a dozen others that did deliver, sometimes a bit late but that is to be expected.
I think instead of disregarding kickstarter altogether, instead read up on the company and its history before doing it.
It baffles me that anyone would ever back Mythic Games on anything anymore, on the other hand I wouldnt hesitate to back anything from Leder Games or Werhlegig.
Sadly, even the advice you offer on protecting yourself doesn't always work. Level 99, DVG, and the notorious Valley Games (yay on D-Dice 1st edition, which went well, then screwed people on both Airborne in Your Pocket and Up Front) all went to pot for various reasons. So past success isn't a protection. I don't trust third party reviewers, because they receive prototypes that aren't final versions. A scammer can invest a little money into sending prototypes and collect money on the final product that they may never deliver. Funny this video appeared, because I just received a package that delivered for the Myth Journeyman miniatures that arrived 10 years too late. Another company bought the rights to the game and promised to fulfill the Kickstarter that the original company that tanked didn't produce. Ulisses Spiele are heroes. My practice is to simply wait and purchase the Kickstarter editions when they hit eBay or the other secondary markets. You pay a little more, but you avoid the wait and know you're getting something that's already available.
Nothing will ever be absolutely fool proof. Even good companies can turn things around and grab defeat from the jaws of Victory. I don't get anything from DVG anymore myself for the same reasons. A little while back I found out from someone wanting to remain confidential that UpFront had the chance to deliver to their backers, but chose to fail instead. No idea why, but my guess is because the company willing to save them from failure wasn't willing to put more money in his pocket. Truly horrible on his part.
Disagree with you on prototypes. People might not realize this, but prototypes are extremely expensive. Anywhere between 500-1k depending on quality and size. It's because only a few are made so there is no bulk production to keep costs down. If a company is investing thousands into a few prototypes to send to independent reviewers then that should still inspire confidence.
The safest option is waiting until they are produced to get the game, but unfortunately that can be the most expensive option depending on who is selling the copy. I've lucked out a few times on ebay, but that's rare.
What happened to Level99??
@@WanderingKumquat Long story, but they ran a large series of Kickstarter campaigns they couldn't keep up with and ran extremely late. In the case of the campaign I was a part of (Battlecon Unleashed), they delivered late with a ton of cards that had errata. Thankfully, only a few of those really required updated cards while the rest were at least playable in their current state. Still, it was a sloppy way to wrap up what was supposed to be an ultimate conclusion to the series. But the worst part was their lore/artbook, which didn't release with the Unleashed set. They tied the book's release to a completely different campaign that delayed it way beyond what was responsible.
There's only 3 companies i support on KS now: Mantic Games, DVG Games, and Flying Pig Games
Still waiting on my Kickstarter from Flying Pig for a Most Fearful Sacrifice........
@@robossuperchannel9434 first or second edition?
@@thegimpygamer Second Edition. I think most people in the US received theirs a couple of months ago. Overseas orders, like mine are still on the way. But I have total faith that they will deliver, just later than they claimed.
Damn and I wanted to order this game.
You can. Just not guarantee that you will actually get it
Do you think that imperial borders kick starter is going to succeed? Nice video btw
Oh yea I am not worried about them at all. Plan on covering it myself again when it fully releases
