It makes me wonder if Reckoning was part of a plot to defraud someone, namely Rhode Island taxpayers. This was an effort for Kurt Schillings to fatten up his wallet and gave false hope it would succeed. Remember Rhode Island could lose up to $100 million on 38 studios, the question is where exactly did that money go to?
Reckoning did have a very limited character designs, weapon and armor sets. It was the kind of game they could have funded $3 million a year for three years on 40 people to complete.
You have no clue of what happened. First of all, 38 studios went bankrupt because of their MMO game that was never completed, not because of KoA. Secondly, Curt Schilling lost a bunch of money because of this, no way his plan was to get in so much legal trouble with the state of Rhode Island.
The governor says Reckoning had to sell 3 million copies to break even, that would mean the game had cost around $60 million to make. Of a game that could have cost $15 million to make, there is something wrong with the picture. It might not have been Kurt, but someone else who was using this to get rich.
No triple A game can only cost 15 millions to produce nowadays.
