Copy pasting myself from elsewhere because money hard.

Educate yourselves about business, goddamn. Fully funded means they have the capital to be in pre-launch development for a certain amount of time. They can pay salaries, they can pay third party tech license fees, they can pay consultants, they can pay for whatever rights they're using, what have you. That money is finite, fully funded does not mean "We have money coming out of every orifice every time we sneeze." Nathan said on the stream that the total of the founders money accounted for about 20% of their funding, and was probably already accounted for and gone by the time refunds became available due to the open world change.

Now because they are a functional business with a publisher in the video game industry, when they launch successfully, they get more capital. Not just from an influx of new purchases, that's wholly unreliable money and if you expect to run a company off that you're stupid and deserve to go bankrupt. When they launch successfully, and the game isn't a smoking tire fire, they get more money from their publisher, from certain investors depending on their level of involvement, and potentially from other sources depending on their various deals. This is what will allow them to make the first expansion a reality, and past that.

+1

As a customer I am still neutral, but I can get on board with the straight answers that Nathan gave and we can all go down the road on the same page....just as long as @Oveur and the rest of the team stop saying soon.

Interestingly I picked up SWTOR the other day. It facinated me to think that SWTOR was one of those games... the skinned WoW games that came out after Blizzard's success, but it's still going. Even after WAR died out long ago, somehow SWTOR is still here. I think WAR died for reasons besides the competition. I largely blame trying to run a largely PvP game with massive vertical progression.

It's a joke ?????
The game was full funded. And the cash of the Founders was here for have more cool stuff for the Founders not build the game, and more cool stuff on the Store. Was this fucking joke ?!?

Now, i can see the wall.

From my point they gave us courple inportant informations. Not so clear to stop all this storm that rised after Zoran`s interview but perhaps to make some a bit calmer. I assume that some will keep boycoting it anyway but well.
I am quite happy that devs unswered to community reaction.
What makes me happy is they stated again that released date is not established. Nathan said it on forum before but still it meant something like "we don`t have strict date but it will be this summer anyway" so I was bit afraid. Now I`m not.
Other thing is they said map system will not just show what faction have mre victories. So we can count on some campaign system at the launch to be expanded. This is a great news.
What answers I didn`t get?
Most important is nothing about battles maximum size. 30vs.30 is ok for alpha/beta (whatever we have here) but for release i think we need much more.
Also quite concerning is that they are running out of cash... So even if release date is not fixed they can`t wait with it for long. So question about what they can get before it and how it will effect playerbase stays open.
Did I miss something?

Having a budget and running out of money are different things, if they aren't sticking to summer then they're (probably) fine.

Wow. They got off easy with many of you. I would say, show me something before I start believing again. At least one of these many updates we were supposed to have.

Off-topic but...

SWTOR quest dialog system is so damn good and works very well even in groups.
WAR early level PVE was really good for its time and the public quests was a very cool new thing but yeah.

They did show us a bunch of stuff today and answer a lot of questions, but I know what you're saying. It's the reason why I'm still neutral. Just because I can get on board with something doesn't mean that I'm not going to retain a skeptical attitude.
