Re: limited business acumen
That was the beginning of the avalanche of suck that nearly swallowed Chaosium during the "Masks of Nyarlathotep" and "7th Edition" near fiascoes.
What started out as (I imagine) genuine projects became damn near Ponzi schemes until a rescue team stepped up to the plate.
The second edition of Eclipse Phase is looking to me like it is stalled despite assurances of progress. The updates are full of everything except decent progress reports on the actual product backed. One of the PMs got into it with me on Twitter recently when I expressed my frustration over the amount of blither about cats, Macbooks, Gencon and pretty much anything except when we might actually see the book, assuring me that people "like and want" to see that sort of "content" in an update.
My take? It isn't a good sign when the PMs want to use the KS forum for anything but progress reports.
