http://www.incgamers.com/2014/09/transverse-is-piranha-games-new-crowdfunded-space-title http://www.incgamers.com/2014/09/transverse-could-have-been-wing-commander-online-gamer-backlash-begins With Transverse not being Kickstarted and funds being gathered directly, there’s no protection for backers and the funding goals set out by Piranha are almost absurd. So much so they appear to have changed their funding page. In case you missed the funding goals, they were as follows: $1,000,000 – Space Flight $1.5 million – Customise your ship $2.0 million – Space combat We’re a little perplexed why it would take an additional $1 million to shoot your lasers. What if they don’t reach $2 million? Does that mean you won’t be able to shoot?

Honestly, those "goals" sound more like satire than anything else - it's like they're doing it deliberately and then, in a few days, they'll pull back the curtain and shout "surprise! it was all a joke! don't be silly, of course we're not asking $1m for spaceflight! Game is coming to Steam and retail outlets Q2-2016!" ... but we all know it's not satire

Haha yeah, it's something that I would expect from an elaborate Play4Real prank or an Onion article about crowfunding, truly unbelievable.

What's more unbelievable though, it's the people falling for it!

"Give us $500,000 just so that we know people are interested. The entire game won't be made unless we get every single penny of our funding drive, but the initial $500k shows us that people want the game"
