One would-be investor shared the e-mail they received from Figon Reddit. The message notes that “there have been recent changes at Gearbox” and because of that, Fig has cancelled investment reservations. No one actually paid to invest, it was all still pending. The e-mail is also clear that the game and backer rewards are still coming to people who paid for ‘em, they’re just scrapping the whole investment thing.
Fig CEO Justin Baileytold GamesIndustry.bizthat the Homeworld 3 campaign hadn’t yet reached the point where they’d reach out to folks who registered to invest and actually seal the deal. Bailey said Fig were in talks with Gearbox to get that rolling but these “trailed off after the acquisition announcement.”
