    The game’s page has the “Uses Kernel Level Anti-Cheat Easy Anti-Cheat” badge of shame in the sidebar, so you don’t even need to make it down to the bad reviews before you decide to avoid the game.

    Oh wait, so did they actually bait and switch the KS backers? Wouldn’t that be false advertising? And also, wouldn’t that mean they’re in serious trouble with KS, and liable to have a shitload of money removed from their accounts, or at least a lawsuit?

      https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stormgate/stormgate

      (Founder’s pack) Includes one Vanguard Hero, the Vanguard Chapter 1 campaign content, an Army accent cosmetic, and Founder’s Discord role.
      (Ultimate pack) Deluxe Founder’s Pack PLUS Vanguard Campaign chapters 2 and 3,

      Sounds like they only promised the first 3 levels (chapters) of the Vanguard campaign and nothing else, unless they changed the text and images sometime during or after the KS

    Understandable they are pissed. Paying in advance for games not yet made is a fucking scam, develop your shit and convince me with a finished, polished product.

    I’m also sceptical of the bunch of promotional fluff in that link, that generally means less substance more bullshit in a game.
