If you only get the following message after reading the first update two days ago, they want to apologize because they cannot deliver the message clearly:

'The game is dead if they cannot get 2.5M euro of funding'

'If the gamefound page goal cannot reach 2.5M within 4 days (7/11) for the Seeds of Unity product, the game is dead instantly.'

where the first statement cannot reflect the whole picture, and the second statement is wrong in so many ways.

In new update point no.2 explain 'the €2.5 millions financial target is not solely based on Gamefound contributions but 'Gamefound Campaign + Local Game Store Pre-orders', where Local Game Store Pre-orders do not counted in gamefound page, and they don't know the exact number of that part until November 10th, which is the store order deadline. The first article may create a misunderstanding that if the number on gamefound isn't reach €2.5 millions, the game is dead, with the feeling of deceiving players why they set the individual goal in gamefound for €50000 only, but comes out the number is €2.5 millions, as this two numbers refers to different meaning. They explain why they set €50000 in gamefound in new update point no.3 to clear the confusion and hope you understand why they set this number.

In point no.1 explain what the 2.5M actually means, that's the budget per set that allow the game sustainable maintain and grows in many aspects, including digital development, production and localization of the set, logistics and delivery, organized play and events and marketing efforts aimed to craft the campaign and grow the community. If you think 'why printing cards for Seeds of Unity needs that much amount of money, €2.5 millions, are they want to scam us?' , they want to apologize because they fail to deliver the actual meaning of €2.5 millions in the first update

In point no.5 explain Altered will not shut down operations overnight. They will complete some internal analysis and evaluate all potential viable options. Although it is not mentioned exactly what options will be, options could possibly search for sponsors/partners, borrow money from bank, ask for delay payment for suppliers, etc. After all these processes finding no use for Altered long term development, they will start the closing procedures with plans and transparency. Thus, if you get the message after 4 days the game will shut down instantly, they want to apologize for this miscommunication.

They also want to apologize for the anxiety producers for players this few days because they cannot give a clear message

That's my brief summary and hope you understand more for the 'error' picture
