It clearly says, in option C of the second poll you reference, 'continue to offer stretch goal rewards in addition to extra features...'
So 88% of people, bothered enough to vote, said yes to extra features. I feel you're lying about others lying.
My post stands as was originally written because I don't write blogs for complete morons.
Each time it comes up that the game’s scope had been increased to a level that had set the project on a course to failure, CIG and their devout cultists would trot out the “backers voted for scope increase” lie, and which they have since used as an excuse for the project’s on-going demise. They completely disregard points raised that the poll data doesn’t show any consensus or agreement in any of the options, since not even a simple majority agreed on any one option despite each participant being allowed to select three choices. They were given three votes each, and they still failed to put any of the choices above a 40% support threshold; suggesting that there was no majority support from the community for any of the stretch goal choices in the poll. As some pointed out, given three instead of one choice should have ultimately pushed any choice to 50% or higher. In the end, the poll clearly showed that CIG did the poll, ignored the results, then went on to increase the scope of the project – even beyond the poll choices! That basically negated the poll in its entirety, thus rendering it moot.
FYI, that option C in that
$19M poll had
THREE conditional qualifiers to a
SINGLE question "
what should we do with the crowd-funding counter after we reach our goal". That goal being the $23M.
1) keep it up through development
2) continue to offer stretch goal rewards
3) in addition to extra features and development milestones
That you call me lying, even though I posted the poll, complete with results and anecdotes, was a nice touch.
