That is squarely on Awesome Japan IMO. That "don't care either way" option screwed the whole poll. Selfish people or not, there should have been a binary choice if they were hoping for a strong answer.

It's equally the fault of the people who voted No. I recall someone here linking to a YouTube video that someone posted explaining why they voted no, and their explanation was something like they were a collector and didn't want the collectors edition to be less valuable by offering it again. (Except that's a stupid argument, because the $500 collectors edition is one of the rewards that they ARE offering)

I believe if you backed on Kickstarter though, based on previous comments posted here it sounds like they'll still be offering upgrades or add-ons to Kickstarter backers later in the year. I haven't double-backed specifically because it sounded like I can get both platforms without backing again if they offer add-ons. Honestly I think they should've offered upgrades already or should do it in the near future after releasing a trailer, because it would probably easily push them over 7 million at this point.

Although I disagree with the people who voted No, I don't blame them for the poll turnout. AJ not offering a binary choice muddied the water, especially considering they set up the poll with the purpose of determining strong reaction. Adding a fence-sitting, non-committal option was dumb. Straight up dumb.

Either way that's in the past by quite a bit now and we can't change it. I just wonder if some bad press could have been saved and some money made if AJ had thought a little bit more about what they were asking.

I hope there will be an update by the end of April.
Anything, a picture of "pajamas guy" in a sleeping bag on the office floor at 3 AM with a few words saying they are working hard, day and night, to make the best game possible would be good enough.

A tiny update for April to please the crazies in KS comments section and then black pitch until E3.

I would love to see new pics, logo change, trial update and more info on the voice actors and then I will be happy I would be happy with anything of course but if this happened I would be fine with there not be a update in May because this is a lot of stuff and then they can show a trailer at E3 2017!

Or they can give a update on the trial later and talk about a little about the minigames or something like that.

They should do a joke update one of these days where they just follow AJ's Joel around, reality TV style, as he goes about his life. He can appear perfectly normal and then out of nowhere, say, when ordering food or a coffee or what have you, at the end of placing his order and specifying the details thereof, he can shout GIMME GIMME GIMME!

Sure we all want more game details... but I'd be entertained! :p

For PalyPal numbers, I think this is a record.

For the updates, must be around 2.5 month?
