Base funding, plus
3 stretch goals reached
In some sense, only 511 people joined, so we're kind of dying off as PCE fans willing to back projects like this, and from that amount you have to subtract off the Sega fans... It's the generosity that put this over the top, of course! But yeah, another way of looking at it.
Wanted to wait till the KS was over on this one... Sadly, we have a bit of a dysfunctional PCE forum family, to say the least...there was some jealousy, envy, sour grapes, bad blood that came to the surface, etc. but worst of all, somebody registered here who hates this forum/us/whoever, in a despicable act of intimidation, floated a FCC legal threat to Aaron given the 1-2 newsletters that went out to our members...
Part of me, stupid me, thought us PCE fans would stick together, we'd put most differences aside, and could never have predicted something like that happening, but all it takes is one angry, bitter heckler with a grudge against whoever, so that's how it went... Suffice to say, I won't make that mistake again with this place...not just due to also getting "sacked" by the Game Sack... :/
I was
very hurt that a zen soul such as Aaron was subjected to this, getting caught in the crossfire, feeling responsible, and yeah, he'll *never* use the newsletter system again as a result... But, hey, it did reach a respectable amount of PCE people, it helped somewhat reverse the downward trend after the DreamCast UK site began its attacks/criticisms, so I'm glad it helped in whatever way that it could, even though some friendships/respect will have been lost in the process...
Anyway, I debated whether or not to get that negativity out of the way so soon, still not sure it was wise one way or another, but yeah... I'm still really pissed about it, more than I care to express in this thread publicly...
Rest of today, despite all the unbelievable bullshit to get here, is technically for celebrating! So congrats again guys, now it's just time to get to work with "laser-like focus," deliver a kickass product, move forward, etc.! The butthurt the saboteurs are feeling right now must be considerable, so there's that!!
P. S.
Gonna again avoid the "anomaly" with his PSG-obsession until say manana or so... There's been a little too much drama lately...
