I fucking wish Through the Gorge actually became I real game, I am so sad it was just another Kickstarter scam.

For anyone who wants the origin:

This came from a Facebook meme page titled "Welcome to my meme page" with 330k likes which posted general memes and images in this format. A Kickstarter was launched by "Brother Abernathy" to make it into an actual game titled "Through the Gorge". The creator claimed to have a team working on it and posted some updates on the Kickstarter page but the updates became more and more scarce over time. Eventually he stopped posting and left the Kickstarter page up with the fans wondering what was going on.

I don't know about the specifics but went back in every now and then to check in on the progress.

The Kickstarter made $18,415 dollars with nothing being delivered to the backers.

How the fuck is that even allowed? This is why I'll never participate in a kick starter
