I wanted to like Stormgate but it feels too much like StarCraft from Wish, it doesn't do a lot to differentiate itself.

Starcraft was pretty good if you ignore the mtx. I'd be happy with a non-predatory starcraft.
Yeah, but you'd expect a new rts from the same devs to be better than StarCraft 2 after so many years.
This is how they hope to do more
They already got a ton of money and expect to release the game this year, it's a weird thing to ask.
This feels like the moment that people should be using to come to the conclusion that video game budgets and development timelines are unsustainable.
Nope. I learned my lesson with planetary annihilation. Beyond all reason is better and open source. I bet we'll get an open source starcraft killer soon enough.
This is weird. I wonder if this type of crowdfunding will catch on.
I'm interested in Stormgate and I want it to succeed, but being able to invest in it like this kinda gives it scammy vibes.
For me I think it depends on insider ownership. If the management and developers are holding reasonable stakes then it encourages putting out a product that is profitable... I convinced myself out of it, profitable doesn't always mean good.
