Server Tycoon
I can only laugh... and no, I won't be backing it. The Server Tycoon Kickstarter. <chortles>
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Re: Server Tycoon
Sounds almost as interesting as a Farming Simulator...
"You wouldn't kill me just for a few credits, would you?" – "No, I'll do it just for the fun!"
Re: Server Tycoon
ehhh.. wow. The "set your ingame server up like a real server, as it is reachable in the internet" feature sounds interesting, but then again the "fent cyber attacks off" feature worries me. The VR and AR features are nice gimicks, but as useful as those key-danglers. The look like toys thrown in, because its possible. It looks like a cash catcher project, but maybe there is more to it. Maybe someone wants to start up a new webhost service and with that method, he gains clients for buisness.

Re: Server Tycoon
Good to see you around again. After Jolla everything that looks like a only halfways working idea sounds like fraud. Actually you only pay money when the goal has been reached, huh? Hmm, 100000$ is a quite high hurdle. Maybe it's no fraud, but I don't believe they make it.Wildeblood wrote:I need cash. Please expound on this topic?

Re: Server Tycoon
The cyber-security aspects of it worry me - it sounds like a very neat scam for someone who wants to run real cyber-attacks, just tell people in the game that they are fending off rivals and give them your target's details as the "enemy". Another possibility is that it's a real security agency such as the NSA or GCHQ outsourcing cybersecurity and getting people to pay to do it.
