Could someone explain in simple English what to expect from investing into the game through fig shares?

 

There is supposedly huge amount of money going to the game through this channel so I am expecting some of you guys went for it.

 

It would be great if you would add an example like if you invest 1000 USD and the game sells this amount of units, you will gain this amount. Thanks.

Look at the purple graphic (scroll down) in this page: https://www.fig.co/campaigns/deadfire/invest

Yes I have seen that, but at the same time there are some posts on this forum (just read it in a thread) from people that state the same, that they do not fully understand how it works... so I thought someone would be nice enough explaining it.

Someone from fig would be more apropriate to explain to you. Would you trust your invested money to some random person in these forums?

I wont be investing the money upon one forum thread, but the more information the better. Fig already tried explaining it and I didnt understand well and when i saw another person not understading it I thought a forum thread about it would be appropriate.

Well, you lucked out if you didn't make the leap.  As of yesterday, Fig Shares are less than worthless.  After being assured that our investments would remain unchanged after the acquisition by Microsoft, all Fig Shares were abruptly ended and all investors were cut loose for a grand total of 52% return.

So I lost $2500 (others likely much, much more).  At least I got a Thank You note in a  bulk-email.  I suppose I can print it out and frame it as an expensive reminder.

Edit:  Nevermind, I just noticed your Fig badge.  Sorry, mate.

Noticed Fig badge.

I also have the fig badge but I didn't do any investments/fig shares.
