Quote from: Xenomrph on Apr 14, 2024, 05:51:29 PMThe pledging period was over 18 months ago, this is a second round of preorders that's pure profit for the filmmakers. Buying in now is like buying a ticket to a 45th anniversary showing of 'Alien' - you aren't "producing" anything, it's already been produced.
According to the CEO, this preorder period is the only time you can get it (although he said the same thing 18 months ago for the initial funding). So unless he's a filthy liar preying on false FOMO, then no you won't be able to get it later at a discounted rate.
I don't disagree. If people are foolish enough to throw away their money on a second round of pledges, then that's on them. Not sure why anyone was excited for this documentary in the first place. It's not going to tell fans anything they don't know already. It's a waste of money at $50, it's a waste of money at $5, so... meh, I guess.
I can't quite muster the sympathy to feel bad for the saps paying silly amounts of money to have their name listed among thousands in the credits of a fan documentary; a name that only they will read, like Bart Simpson pausing the VHS of his Krusty show credit.
