Hi Dark, Yeah, that scam was a classic. It was also discovered pretty quickly and the problem dealt with. The thing is that a real scam would be a one time affair as this community is of the opinion once bitten twice shy. So whoever actually tries to scam the community better get as much money as he or she can, because they'll never get a second chance to do it again. Anyone who has been around long enough knows that.
Bavisoft and Alchemy have left a bad impression on a lot of people, and its a lot harder to get people to trust your intentions. Just look at that message from yesterday where I got blasted for trying to research various cross-platform technologies to bridge the gap between Linux gaming and Windows gaming. I think most people realise I'm not scamming them, but I think a lot of people doubt I'll ever get around to releasing MOTA because of too much time spent on research rather than development. Even though in actuality MOTA is nearing 1.0, and is a lot closer to final release than people give me credit for. However, the only way to earn back their trust will be to release the game, and maybe they'll not quite be so negative towards my future projects. Cheers!
