And it has a lot of potential. But, with how unsure the gaming buisness is today, unless I get a full on plan and almost daily updates on the work being done. I don't normally invest in unfinished games, nor do I suggest others do it either.
I think we can all agree that MnF Club is in no way a finished product. And what we are paying for, be it in a weird way, is the development of the game. Which in turn makes us investors. And as an investor, you wanna know how your money is put to use. At least I do, and most projects I've supported, be it a regular indie game like Project Zomboid, or more adult oriented, like TiTS, have had a constant stream of progress updates for the consumers. Even if there won't be an update for the game, they'll just say hi, and update people on their progress. And for me, that's a very important thing.
Anyways, that's my opinion on premium. Do I think they should hire more people? Probably, since this is not the only game like this around. And when you're competing in similar genres, you can't really afford to take things slow. On the other hand, if they don't have the money to hire more people, they just don't have the money. And it might not be so easy to find someone to hire either? I think it's a hard subject to discuss since we know so little about what's actually going on. Hence the earlier part of my post. ^^
I second that opinion. But i think the devs have already a steady source of income. The mfngames site. Call it an investment or whatever, but redirecting some of their resources is a valid move as far as im concerned. Of course this could go wrong in so many ways. But thats how business is. They could also make something grand and worth every ounce of awe i can give. But i guess that is not going to happen.... Oh well....
