Gratz us!   :D

 

I must have missed it, but what's the reason each Million isn't awarding a 'backer's gift' anymore?  Each million doesn't mean as much now as it did when they had under 10 Mil?

 

They've decided to no longer do this, because people started to ask "why does it need 1 million to make a space plant", despite CIG also hired more developers. Though media and other people focused on the negative aspect (or turned it into one). Every million meant a new letter, basically just saying "Hey we made another million", because sometimes they made a couple of millions within a week or two.

 

Stretch goals are meant for important milestones, that weren't possible before, because they need more money (for example better MoCap equipment). Though by now CIG gets enough money (and also already has a lot) to expand the game further than they've ever imagined, thus they keep improving the game in every way.

 

It also became incredibly hard to think of a unique feature. It doesn't mean they won't stop adding new things (e.g the new damage model), but they want to focus on the game and so we're getting design documents, that tell us more about the game.

Woo hoo! That's super exciting. I was just thinking about what a huge jump in sales they're going to get once the Vanguard goes on sale. Especially at the price point they discussed haha. 

 

not sure about that, a lot of people will be melting stuffs and some people will pass, since 250 USD is rather punitive price.

 

If they had set the price at 200 they would have got much more money.
