Enlisted's Backing history and something else you may want to pay attention to

As you may heard there’s a pretty relevant game is now switching to 2nd gen and raising a backing campaign.
I want to talk about Enlisted’s backing history and what you may want to look out for.

I have some friends who have been playing WT for a long time. And participated in Enlisted’s Crowd Funding campaign (Backers).


(I was playing Verdun/RO2 back then. WT was and still is extreme unfriendly to new players for long grinding.)
Gaijin had a pretty successful crowd funding stuff.

The “Panfilov’s 28 men”

No matter which ones, even as greedy as Gaijin is/was, they did not asked for any over priced options.

But for the one which is happening:

They even managed to get such detailed divided price options up to thousands of dollars. And FAQ is empty… And no clear progressive goal on different funding levels. Just a straight up 2 million money, 2 month time.

Just SUS
Think more if you want to backing it. Yeah, game industry is pretty much a money pit. The classic Red Orchestra 2 took 1 million USD in 2000s for developing. But it need a clear plan, not just pure passion.

Here’s an pretty “successfully failed” of a kickstarter WW2 FPS game. They at least delivered a playable game. But just something went terribly wrong.

Their higher priced options are for multi-licensed pack. So not that absurd.
And their target is pretty solid.

Here’s what Enlisted’s target:

Also detailed and feasible.

Nope, Enlisted only got a pre alpha release of Normandy D-Day back then.

I think Moscow and Tunisian has the biggest and best map in the game, Moscow winter is better and more complete.

Normandy also has a nice huge map at the beginning, but that map now is part of the Cousin instead of Enlisted.
