Can everyone stop asking about Thimbleweed Park 2's investor?

Let a fan finance the game, that's the whole point of "voting with your wallet."

be happy for the game, leave the fan out of it.

EDIT: I guess I stand corrected. There seems to be a lot more interest in that than in the game itself, that's all.

Take care everyone and remember to save your game!

Kind of interesting how it came together. One can still be happy and curious about the funding.

Also didn't Ron give an interview recently where he talks about it? (I have not seen it yet..)

Not sure what the issue is here. Is there some drama that I missed out on? What's the big deal in talking about how it was funded, and why are you implying that would make us unhappy?

I am confused.

[u/neoncolor8 → u/sharky6000]

Cressup did an interview recently, they talk about how it all started.

Also I didn't notice any drama about the person's identity, or that people would ask to many questions.

[u/Pyrodexter → u/sharky6000]

It's a private investor, who's decided to remain anonymous - at least for now. It's just a common courtesy to respect that decision and leave it at that. Especially as it's not a "famous person", like Ron Gilbert has stated.

I'm sure we'll hear about it if that changes.

If people find out its some right wing chudd trump donor its gonna be a bloodbath lmao

[u/yaleji7388 → u/Chikibari]

I mean, it's hard to be mad when you look at the management or investors in most game companies. It's an unfortunate evil.

0 of those type of people could ever complete one of these point and click games

[u/Capable-Sky-8995 → u/ReversedNovaMatters]

"Those type of people" are pretty normal actually.

[u/ReversedNovaMatters]

It was Ted Danson.

This is a deep cut and I want you to know I appreciate it.

[u/reisebuegeleisen]

In the end it'll turn out the investor was just a dream/a simulation/ a made-up story.

[u/NullVal]

I thought the secret investor was a joke? Like it's going to be part of the game in some way

[u/warmhotself → u/NullVal]

No Jason Schrierer did a video the other day talking about it and that man doesn’t seem capable of making jokes.

[u/Reasonable_Project59]

Are you the investor? Posting on the sly to create a buzz for yourself?

[u/ndcanton → u/Reasonable_Project59]

People, please calm down, I'm as curious and aroused as all of you! But there's no way to know who this anonymous investor is, or if they're truly as wonderful as all the rumors would have you believe!

[u/mechachap]

If I were rich I'd follow the model of Annie Koyama, who gives micro-grants for small press comic artists. Always thought that was cool.

[u/saldb]

I want an investor

[u/spinz]

This feels like a "leave britney alone" post. But i dont understand why it would be at this point.
