Stonehearth for Linux is cancelled five years after a successful Kickstarter

Quoting: scaineSteam's trying to sell games, I get it. But it really annoys me that their "recently posted" section features 9 negative reviews, but the overall rating is "mostly positive"??

Even the positive reviews note game-breaking bugs, performance issues after 20 hours and AI that just doesn't work. Really weird and frustrating when I see such negativity summed up by Steam as mostly positive.
"mostly positive" is "you probably do not want to buy this" in my book.

Quoting: HoriAhh, yes, crowdfunding.
Sounds good, doesn't work.
Just like preorders.
Both worked very well for me - in the very few cases I did it.
I've preordered The Talos Principle, because they had a very good full working demo (and I got Serios Sam BFG for free with it).
And I kickstarted The Journey Down part 3, as they already had shown twice that they are able to do it, and writing a point and click is not the kind of bottomless pit as some other genres.

I remember I was stuck back then at a level... before a mine or something?

Quoting: F.UltraIn my book this ticks all the boxes needed for a conspiracy theory.
I disagree. It takes more for a conspiracy theory than speculation. You're missing boxes, boxes which wouldn't tick.
But I don't think we need to discuss this further.
Your arguments about the real question are good; my speculation was most probably wrong.
