Damn, this sucks.
I had done the usual and ‘saved’ the game with intent to commit in the final 48h.

Given the kind of shipping costs our Australian friends have to pay for almost anything it’s not even worth complaining about that part IMHO. I tend to be more worried about hidden costs like customs duty fees. And even those I accept, because international shipping can be a pain in the posterior for companies not used to these things.

Assymetrical factions are cool and one of the things I like in games, but they can be tricky to balance.
Heck, the only thing I didn’t like (and this is a rather minor complaint) is the art style.
It didn’t match the serious tone of the movie.

Ungrateful backers are the result of companies treating Kickstarter as a glorified webshop. People tend to forget that mistakes and delays will happen when a product needs proper development before shipping. Never mind the chance of failure …
