They are visionaries, brilliant engineers on their field, yet I fail to see how they want so ensure they stay on track.

I'm sure there is plenty of blame to spread around between the IC investors, Oleg, Luthier, and other individual team members. That said Maddox Games managed to create an awesome sandbox that Team Fusion is now finishing/refining proving the potential so many of us couldn't/wouldn't see.

Personally I think Kickstarter is a wonderful tool for combat sim developers to keep control of their efforts, instead of eventually handing over complete control to investors. It also demands the developer become far more responsible for their own actions, and not depending on the investor for that next paycheck, as the kickstarter monies do not keep coming in. We are now the prime investors, not the beancounters. I'd much rather see my monies in the developers pockets as apposed to investors who have more than enough money of their own.
