There are lot's of great games programmed in CE3, and for starters most of them look better than MWO.
PGI can't blame the engine for all that much, and I wouldn't back a kickstarter from PGI for any project ever.
You only get one shot at showing you can handle crowdfunding well and deliver the project to the stisfaction of the backers. I like MWO but it didn't fulfill the pitch that the backers funded to any reasonable degree, and so it can't be seen as an acceptable example of crowdfunding.
I wish PGI all the luck in the world with MWO, MW5 and everything else, but I'm sorry to say they don't deserve the trust necessary for crowdfunding or early access type business model, that bridge is burned which Transverse showed very clearly.
PGI should accept this and only use their own money or parter with investors and never again ask for customer money until they release finished products.
I really hope they aren't planning to ask the MWO player base for early access/crowdfunding money for MW5 or MWO engine prot, because it won't work. Those projects are going to have to be funded the old fashioned way.
IF MW5 is a huge success and a great game and MWO is updated to fulfill the original promises, then maybe after that PGI can successfully ask for crowdfunding money again, maybe.
