How would the exchange rate affect Paypal donations in this situation? I mean, would rewards be worth less and more etc as the weeks/months went on? Perhaps they're preparing a page for the Japanese/Chinese/Korean markets, to whom it wasn't accessible to before?

Plus, after the way rewards were slapped on and on through the KS, perhaps they're assessing and looking very carefully at what they want to provide.

This is also all in hope of course, perhaps they're just slamming Fantas after a tense 31-day campaign. But who knows?

Seems like this might be a lot more common than I though.


Note that though it's possible to default what you owe to Paypal, they can ruin your credit as they have your bank or CC information.

I didn't even move or change contact information, I just switched banks and had forgotten about it when my Xbox Live automatically renewed using my paypal account that was linked to the old bank account. Never heard anything from anyone.

Quick question: I'm trying to get a forum poll (this my first) going for the PayPal, now I need to know if I can change the poll options for when PayPal goes live?
If I can't, I might as well not post up the poll yet and wait it out.

Only just noticed this tweet by Cedric Biscay:
https://twitter.com/CedricBiscay/status ... 6757352448

@Shenmuehua je l'espère bien ! J'espère meme qu'il n'y aura pas besoin de PayPal pour ca.


Basically he is saying that he hopes that PayPal won't be necessary to reach the remaining $5.4 million dollars. Could ongoing negotiations for additional funding be the reason for the delay of Papal being added?

That's good news, but I doubt that's the reason for Paypal being delayed. They should still implement it regardless of them sourcing additional funding.

Edit: Unless there's a lot of legal hoops they're having to jump through to prove to Paypal that funds are going towards development and pre-ordering the game + rewards etc.

I thought he was saying that "the bomb" shouldn't be related to further funding.

I thought he actually used the word "epic" and then a user here was the one who actually referred to it as a "bomb" update (whatever that even means). I could be wrong though.

Yeah it was funny, Biscay never talked about a "bomb" but the thing was going viral on the globe.

Someone tweeted him asking when he was going to drop a bomb and give us an epic update basically.... He replied to say he hoped to they'd be 1 or 2 things announced before the end.

Definitely didn't use bomb himself or epic even I don't think... I like many thought he had though as the topic on here referred to it as the bomb basically :-/

Time to diffuse the bomb :)

Cedric did actually say bomb several times himself.

He said spirit bomb at one point, and "hopefully we will have many more bombs to drop before Dec 2017!" recently. I think Goro over at the Kickstarter set that term off, and Cedric sort of adopted it lol.

They're going to have to publicly announce something soon. You can't announce Paypal at the end of the Twitch and then just choose to ignore it. The people are waiting.
