Very super condensed tl;dr by Worldwaker;
[Quote]Simpler tl;dr from the livestream: He was hacked, Indiegogo support is slow on Sundays and at 4-8 AM, and Matt, i.e. The guy behind the project, is apparently pretty fucking kewl. No money was lost, project ongoing. Nothing has changed besides everyone being able to put a voice to the man, who's overall the right guy to have been making this in the first place. [/quote]

Link to the now 404'd Indiegogo fundraiser. It briefly came back up a few hours ago, and is now down again.

/v/ is going to have riots in the streets.

And no, /V/ is Phil Fish.

are you fucking serious

really

[Mikemaximum]

Why did the video change

Did "/V/" hack this page too

[kaine123]

This whole situation has seriously escalated so fucking badly. Holy shit.

[DJrorok]

Seems like Zoe has invited indiegogo to a date at five guys.

[CmdrSkittles]

"This campaign has been closed"

But the contribute button still works. The account behind the campaign has most likely been compromised .

Hoax, almost certainly (and possibly an attention-grabbing move too). IGG is probably going to be pissed when they find out someone's trying to impersonate their staff. If they did want to nuke a fundraiser, they'd probably just 404 it and refund everyone their money.

It seems that someone got control of the campaign and changed the title, video, etc. If it had been shutdown you wouldn't be able to contribute.

Just another false flag to throw on the pile in this drama.

[Mikemaximum]

Did they just change the title

[No_0ne]

I don't think IGG did this, but rather the account is compromised.

especially given the video they changed it to

[Miya]

/V/ is at it again

this time pissing off /v/ in the process

[Laferio]

Man I gotta tell yeah, what a ruse.

[K0mori]

...and it's gone.

[Hollywood SN]

Is not going to end well.

[3Dprinter]

Posted on /v/ roughly 30 minutes before the Indiegogo went down.

[Lazzars]

I know this is all dumb drama but are /v/ getting scapegoated?

[Laferio]

whomever that is; they know how to play the game quite damn well, when to add fuel to the fire etc.

It's easy to place the blame on something that doesn't have a face or a leader.

[LEETNOOB]

Fucking christ, I am so mad right now. Fuck off Zoe.

I AM MAD AT VIDEO GAMES

[Tasm]

This whole shitstorm is really a testament to how fucked up and stupid gaming journalism has become.

It's literally the cancer of the gaming industry.

[Coffee]

I thought everyone stopped paying attention to gaming journalism a long time ago?

[Matrix374]

Other than being the source of a majority of funds for the campaign,why would the unrelated actions of /v/(which could just be a single person) cause this to get closed down when the only thing /v/ and TFYC are both doing together are making video games?

lol why would you believe a screencap of an anonymous message board

a source of information that has so many opportunities in its creation, capture and dissemination to be altered to incriminate specific people
