Mighty No. 9 has shown a lot of promise when its developers debuted it to look for backers. Many saw that promise and decided to back the project with the promise to launch the game in 2016. It did launch but with a lot of problems and the backers are now in unrest with plans to sue the company.
Since its release in July, the Mega Man spin-off has been fraught with controversies and problem after the developers failed to hand the goods they have been promised. Just like any Kickstarter backed project, backers were promised some rewards based on the amount they gave. Some of those were promised a physical copy of the game.
However, backers are complaining that they have been scammed because they haven't received any physical copy of the game until now. The comment section of the Kickstarter page have been busy with most of the comments expressing their dismay. Some even threatened to sue Comcept.
What made the backers seething with rage was the lack of response from the developers. He said that aside from not getting anything, Comcept seems not to care enough to send a message to them.
It can be remembered that before its release, the game has already experienced a lot of controversies with Keiji Inafune, head of Comcept, announced that the delay was due to the difficulty in working with the engine. However, no on believed him since it is the same engine used for Mortal Kombat.
What happened to Mighty No. 9 is not rare in the crowdsourcing community. However, this one seemed to be the most controversial recently because of the hype involved in the project. Hopefully, Inafune and his team at Com cept will have the balls to face their backers and tell them what really happened.
