Not to be that guy, but if you ever stare at the grand master name list that scrolls endlessly on top of the platform above the relay station lobby, count as many of those names as you can and multiply it by $250. That's how much money was raised to 'kickstart' this studio and this game title from grandmaster packages alone, well into the many hundreds of thousands. It's not about the amount money that was put down, it's about a bunch of people who decided to take a leap of faith either for genuine hope or personal gain, into a game that had no forseeable future. It's easy to say anything now after how far the game has come. But back when this game was infantile, it looked bleak and was just 1-tileset and 3 frames. But despite that, founders invested at the right time and place to help this game and it's staff support it through to what we have today.

You should be thankful not in the way you're feeling offended for, but that there were idiots like us who were willing to throw money to plant a seed we had no idea what it would grow into.
