The sales thread

[Sven_]

About the "14 million" cost. In the aforementioned interview, Faergus estimated a rise in costs from the first game by about 40%-50%. That was February 2017, probably before the inclusion of fully VO. PoE  wasn't financed solely by the Kickstarter money alone, same as any Kickstarter, so a ~10M Budget is not off.

In what reality is turn based more mainstream than real time?

 

 

In the same one that sees X-Com sequels getting made, whilst Command&Conquer is put on indefinite hiatus. You couldn'T see this coming in 1997 when Interplay signed Battleground Infinity Baldur's Gate, likely, nor in 2004, for that matter.

 

Apples and oranges there, dude.
