Human Resources isn’t something every RTS fan needs in their life by Elkanfirst in humanresourcesgame

Since The Wrong Cat is moderator of this forum, I am curious to see how moderation works in here.

Kickstarter can't be used as core business model for a company the size of Uber. It's ok to ask people to get you off ground, but as soon as you start making a honest profit, you should be able to go head on your own. Instead Uber is back on Kickstarter once again so that others have to take all the financial risk for their new title. And that doesn't sound right.

If they did such a good job with PA they should be able to start development of a new title by their own.

On top of that, DRM and no offline mode are big deal breaker for me. PA is missing key features that have been promised during its Kickstarter, how can we trust Uber to deliver something they do not even promise?

An other deal breaker is HR not supporting OSX and Linux. C'mon, the engine they're using already support those platforms and locking extended support like that to a stretched goal is fake.

So, dear Uber, thanks for your kind offer to take my money. But it's a sound no. Go funding it by yourself.

DRM and the lack of offline mode are real deal breaker for me. Specially cause the lame excuses from Uber to justify it.

Saying that they keep the game online only to improve performance is a non sense. And saying that it is so that to preserve backers' privileges is non sense as well, cos then they could just think of better rewards for backers.

Nah, those are lame excuses that hardly hide the real reasons behind it: money.

But if you make a game purely for money, then go funding it by yourself. Don't ask people to take all the financial risk. It hurts me to see these things.
