Smh. I will never get people like you.
I have never wished for a game to fail in my entire life. It's a concept completely alien to me.
Disregarding the usual trolling behaviour, here are some real motivations as far as I can tell:
- some want it to fail because they see the crowdfunding model as pay-to-win. They want it to fail so it doesn't set a trend.
- whenever people are getting together to try to make something happen, some people are drawn to take the opposing side and they win if it fails. It was crazy how this played out in the Elite
angerous community when people were organizing goals for the early background simulation. A small group of people would make a post that they wanted to boost a faction so it would start expanding, and the next day the power shifted much further in the opposite direction than the shift that group would have been able to pull off - so a much larger group had worked to shut them down. This was in the middle of nowhere without ties to the larger powers. Who would work so hard to effectively ensure nothing ever happens? Yet, there it was. Short term destructive fun over long term value.
- some people just like seeing things go badly, like a weird version of America's Funniest Home Videos.
