EPTIt's not like they played a role in the actual project or production, right?

I dunno, I see a lot of anger targeted towards Tastosis, but it seems strange to blame the subject of a documentary for the documentary's failure. It's all on the filmmaker. But, maybe they were more involved than I realize. | ||

AFAIK it was a friend of theirs who made the documentary. But yeah, in the end, that guy is to blame, not them. | ||

Yes, the Kickstarter itself trumps the guy's connection to Tasteless as the reason he would be able to make a better documentary than anyone else. | ||

But since Artosis sold out to the money laundering guys of Sapinda and the new azubu, you know that the guy cares more about money than integrity. It's ok though, he's got family and kid, no future outside of gaming. User was temp banned for this post. i was bullshit banned for this post. That doesn't make it less true. You have been temp banned for 1 week by zatic. Reason: Yeah. No. That "reason" shows a lot of disrespect and you should be the one being banned. | ||

People donate money for this documentary, The movie maker spends them mostly on things for himself instead of making a good documentary, Artosis and Tasteless does nothing to ensure people gets their promised kept? Is this.. Close to what happend or am I understanding wrong? | ||

Is this.. Close to what happend or am I understanding wrong? The guy spending most of the money for himself is a rumor. There's no way to say what he spent his money on. But since the documentary was delayed multiple times, and in the end simply wasn't very good (to put it mildly), people are claiming that he must have spent the money for something else. And yes, some of the promises that were made were broken. | ||

And yes, some of the promises that were made were broken. I see. For me it feels like... If you are collecting other peoples money on a fund raiser then it is just fair enough to declare where the money is spent? :S Should be a requirment or something like that. Just common sence that if I ask for money for something I also declare how I have spent it  | ||

For example: In the kickstarter, the first point under "Where is My Money Going?" states "Hiring professional post production, sound, graphic design people", which clearly didn't happen. | ||

Technically Tumba, *almost* committed to providing a budget breakdown when he did that interview with Richard Lewis regarding: where the hell is Sons of Starcraft Tumba (Jeff Alejos' agent) On the subject of being more candid about where the money has been spent, Sherman seemed receptive. "“Publishing a budget is not really uncommon right, we see what a conventional movie costs all the time, then it's used as a barometer for success. In this case though it's more for over all accountability. The norm is to just see what a movie costs total. But I think with kickstarter projects it would be good if a more detailed budget was published to show where money goes. Maybe not to the extent of a line item budget break down, but at least major categories such as travel, equipment, and things of that nature. A lot of it comes down to trust and reputation too. I personally invested into Fog of War an indie movie by Les Norris, and I never even went to the set, because I knew he would put 1000% into the project. But when you invest into someone you don't know without a track record it's nice to know where your money went. So with crowd funded projects especially accountability is very important.”" Full Interview But considering he was so aggressively saying that SoS was coming out during Blizzcon (which it didn't), I wouldn't hold your breath that they'll practice what they preach and publish a budget... | ||

Is this.. Close to what happend or am I understanding wrong? it was mismanaged and delayed, but a product (whether it is inferior or not is up to debate) was released. donators didn't receive what was promised to them in kickstarter (credits, posters, etc.). tastosis have been mostly silent, but i recall that artosis said negative things towards people attacking the producer. tastosis although originally promoting support for the project really don't have a bone to pick in the matter. rest is speculation and people being upset. | ||
