Talk:Founders/@comment-32972576-20180309233759

Reading this and the official page on becoming a Founder, I can't help but feel what a scam this was. Am I missing something?

The Founder would give DE actual money in exchange for an exclusive forum access and items of no monetary value outside of the game (so from DE's perspective, for absolutely no cost). Sounds like a raw deal to me, especially considering how much profit DE made on your "investments".

My questions to any Founders who might like to respond are:

- Would you not have been better off buying shares in DE if you wanted to contribute to the game's success?

- Were you that distracted by the special, exclusive shiny objects that you forgot that you could have made an actual return on your investment, which if you wanted to you could have used to buy platinum anyway?
