Remember this thing? They said they'd write "ten brand-new Tom vs. Bruce articles to be delivered roughly monthly over the next year.". There have been two and the last one was in November and there have been no updates to the Kickstarter since. They also haven't delivered on their stretch goals of involving Kelly Wand, Desslock, and Erik Wolpaw, sending out the T-shirts backers paid for, or doing a video. Bonus from the forums:

We have our next game queued up and we're doing our video thing next week. So, yes, it's still going, but I apologize that roughly monthly is turning out more roughly than monthly. :(
That was posted on 1/18. They were sure to fly Bruce out to LA in a timely manner but who cares about the video that your backers gave you extra cash for, right?

We are in an editing phase for something that I think is pretty cool. We'll also have news about T-shirts and our next game shortly. I apologize that we haven't been more specific and frequent with updates and that we've been taking longer than we intended. But I can assure you that we will deliver what we promised. Eventually.
Posted on 2/15.

I'm trying not to be snippy, but that's a post that should have been a kickstarter backer update, not a post here.
This was the second time this was suggested on that page and it's done in a very apologetic "sorry to bother you" way.
Tom Chick wrote:
I agree, but I was posting it here because someone asked.
Haha. You should be grateful he's even responding.
Chris Gwinn wrote:
Sorry - wasn't trying to be ungrateful for the update.
The point I'm trying to make (and not doing a great job of it) is that if you aren't a qt3 reader, it looks like Tom vs. Bruce has gone completely dark.
I'm happy to throw money your/Bruce's way as a general "keep it up, I like your work" expression of support. I've done it before, and I expect I'll do it again.

And someone do appreciate that! Thanks for the update!
And they are. But even Qt3 posters have limits:

Just a reminder that you're still dark since November. I was looking at my backed kickstarter projects, and TvB jumped out as the worst offender in terms of not delivering or providing updates.
Tom Chick wrote:
I hear you, Chris, and I completely understand your frustration. I would love to have something to tell you about T-shirts or the video we shot or another article or an update posted to the Kickstarter account, but all I can say at this point is that they're in the works. If it was an option, I would offer you your money back.
Why isn't it an option? They aren't even asking for the next article anymore just an update.

Something that Tom is being very diplomatic about but might provide some clarity to a lot of repeated questions is to look at the actual owner of the kickstarter page and stuff.
Oh fuck you. If he didn't want to be held accountable then he could've asked that his name be left out of the Kickstarter title. They could've even done this under a new account with a shared password so either could post updates so no, he doesn't get a pass. He could at least post in the comments now. |
