Greed Monger the game is officially dead, taking with it the over $90 thousand in funding with it. In an announcement posted on the game’s official board, James Proctor revealed that a necessary investor had bailed out on the project, leaving his company without the funds to continue development. The good news is that assets and pledges are being saved, should Proctor ever fulfill his campaign to create an MMO.
ALL of GM’s Custom Assets will be saved until the time comes that we have the funds to make things right with you guys. When the time comes that we are ready to attempt another MMO ALL KickStarter backers will be notified of our plans before the general public and ALL Land pledges, Crafting Station Purchases, ect. WILL be honored.
The last we heard from the crowd funded MMO, Electric Crow Games suffered a falling out among its staff, beginning with revelations that CEO Jason Appleton had using the threat of legal action to keep Proctor on board. Appleton later announced his own departure, and that development of Greed Monger would be handed over to Proctor and his team. Not even two months later and Proctor is already throwing in the towel.
Greed Monger has been rife with controversy since its Kickstarter easily hit and tripled its target goal. Should Appleton or Proctor return to Kickstarter to fund a future project, Greed Monger will no doubt be a relevant issue.
