That was just ONE issue of MN9 out of many MANY others.
- Feminist Dina sleeping her way to the top being the lead of community development and character design, shutting down any and all criticism of her when people started to ask questions (including banning backers from accessing the very same forums they paid to be a part of)
- Features being scrapped, one of the reasons being a "tight budget" even though they got $4M on Kickstarter
- Working on other MN9 related projects before MN9 was even released including an animated series.
- Graphics so unbelievably bad, the Pizza explosion meme becomes a thing.
- The infamous "it's better than nothing" line that got mocked by fucking everyone including SEGA of all people.
And that's just off the top of my head.
- Yes, but afaik that bitch had no real bearing on the game itself. She was just the canary in the coal mine.
- Tight budget/cuts happened because these retards also promised a working game across 8 wildly different platforms
- The people actually developing MN9 weren't involved in that Red Ash shit, Comcept itself was more or less a glorified Idea Guy who could only really exist by pitching more and more shit on kickstarter, but they failed to explain this properly. Same thing happened with Balan Wonderland, they just thought up the game and outsourced the real work to another company.
- Again, a result of having to develop for every fucking platform out there, game is made with lowest common denominator in mind.
- Fun fact on that, Inafune didn't actually say it, it was Ben Judd putting words in his mouth, not that it really changes anything, because it just goes to show how hilariously bad communication was on their end, it's just something to note because Ben Judd has an amusing history of his own(Getting fired from his own company for Sexual Harassment iirc, making Bionic Commando 2009)
