This whole kickstarter just doesnt feel right from the beginning. I am wondering, do they even have an alternative income from their pockets or investors? If so, who are the investors if any?

As the problem lies here is, a F2P game with single player running on UE4 only asking for 800k? A UE3 license cost a few 100k at least, so whats left to develop the game? From what it looks like, it could be that they just need the money to make a prototype, then, use it to pitch it to publishers which is even worse.

F2P in general has been giving me a very bad impression so far because F2P is just forcing bad designs into the gameplay, where you arent actually looking how to make the game fun like most one off games with DLCs but you have to also worry about how to keep a constant income coming in. You just cant make a fun game constantly thinking how to nickel and dime your players.

After the whole drama with Project Godus going F2P on mobile, I am surprised that they still insist of going with F2P as most kickstarter backers dislikes F2P with a passion. Backers pledges for kickstarter projects because they want a less nickel and dime business model that is similar to the games from the 90s. I'll pass as this will not be something that I want to see. A part of me actually feel glad that they arent doing so well because this will be a perfect example to set that F2P just doesnt work in crowd funding.

As much as I want a mech game, but after seeing Hawken and Mechwarrior Online became terrible F2Ps, I doubt Heavy Gear will be any better. Looks like I have to bend my back to EA's Titan Fall if I want to play a mech game or just play Blacklight Retribution.
