All the while, you're going to have people arguing on forums about whether the game is a "SCAM" or not. The problem is that this is going to take several more years. The way this can be avoided is to "release it when it's ready". It's a bet basically, you're hedging a bet that the project you backed will deliver the thing you want at a fraction of the price of what it would cost to buy it "safely" after it's already been developed and put out into the market. But the large majority of projects do deliver what they promise even if there's some eventual delays. The opportunity cost of getting up to 80% off on the retail cost of a product is, among other things, the possibility of losing that money. Like I said, there have been a few high-profile cases of projects that went south, but that's a risk you assume when you participate in it. I was satisfied with the product I got for every campaign I backed (that's 13) and everybody else I know who backed campaigns, some after I talked them into it, have been happy with their products.
This is just morally wrong even if some projects do succeed. It was originally scheduled for May launch.Just because you sometimes get a decent product doesn't means that you always will and in fact as time goes on and crowd funding becomes more popular more inexperienced naiive people (along with actual scammers just looking to grab the cash, deliver a half assed product to backers only and run) will continue to pop up until everyone it's so pissed off they'll ask the government to interfere and regulate crowd funding effectively killing their usefulness to potential projects anyway.īut instead of repeating I just call it a scam: you're being asked to make a good faith donation under false pretenses which is that you will get a product eventually. We’ll let you know when you can expect The Last of Us Part 2 on PS4. With The Last of Us Part 2 being such a narratively-driven game, it makes sense that Naughty Dog wants to try to keep spoilers to a minimum. Naughty Dog’s statement seems to reference games like Final Fantasy 7 Remake and even AFL Evolution 2, where logistical issues resulting from the coronavirus have meant some players have received copies of titles far ahead of a launch date. This meant delaying the game until such a time where we can solve these logistics issues.”
We want to make sure everyone gets to play The Last of Us Part 2 around the same time, ensuring that we’re doing everything possible to preserve the best experience for everyone.
“However, even with us finishing the game, we were faced with the reality that due to logistics beyond our control, we couldn’t launch The Last of Us Part 2 to our satisfaction. We are in the midst of fixing our final bugs. “The good news is, we’re nearly done with development of The Last of Us Part 2.
#Stars beyond reach indefinitely delayed update#
