One of the main reasons why the DU project has mostly "stayed on track" is that the money from crowdfunding is just a drop in the bucket of their TOTAL funding, so they have enough cash to not have to resort to all kinds of shenanigans to squeeze mo…
There is no way on earth that developing this "new" game didn't delay work on CU, unless they subcontracted the entire development to a different studio...

Raph's new project is the 4th MMO project I know of that is either entirely or 90%+ funded by private investment.
Dual Universe raised €19M, Seed raised €30M, all private investment. Starbase is self-funded (the …

Yup, the candy-coating is heavy on this launch, lol
Gamigo have suddenly become saints that only want to give players maximum value for as low cost as possible !
Let's see how long that lasts... 3 months maybe ?

OK, this is just a total rash of shit.
