Hasn't DoomRL been around forever? Hey Chris Avellone, Cadius, your connections might be useful here.

From a PR perspective this zenimax bullshit is the best thing to happen to your campaign. Now you can have more media coverage with which you can casually mention your kickstarter.
Maybe you're on to something, the article about it appeared on "Polish reddit": http://www.wykop.pl/link/3480915/bethesda-znow-gnebi-maluczkich-tym-razem-naszego-rodaka/ (posted by Bethesda_sucks :D :D :D).
Bethesda_Sucks must be an account of a Codexer since I've seen him post some very Codex like topics on Wykop.

And as everybody already said, transform this thing into a media campaign for your kickstarter. Since Bethesda doesn't want you to be working on DoomRL anymore, you decided that it will be better to create something on your own, with the soul of DoomRL but better!

What's next with fucking zenimax ? Are they going to take down the idgames wad database? :argh:

But yeah, this is pretty good for your KS. DO some PR with it man.

M-maybe Bethesda did this to save the kickstarter campaign? M-maybe they were always the good guys? We were wrong about them... all this time! :o

Yeah, but now the guy who made it is using it market his own commercial project.
It basically went from a free fangame to a marketing tool.
Also, if the project were to become a shitshow (as kickstarter projects often do), one of zenimax's biggest trademarks would be in every headline.("DooM Roguelike successor developer raped a crocodile, ran off with kickstarter money to the North Pole")

Besides, it's possible the whole thing could've been avoided if they just put a disclaimer on the site before they made a post about the kickstarter. Unlikely, but possible.

I'm not saying the whole thing is OK, but zenimax aren't entirely unreasonable here. If they did this years ago, then yeah, that would be a different story (and I really doubt they just didn't know about it).

Maybe there's a bro at Zenimax who knew this would spur Jupiter across the finish line.

Ironically this ZeniMax thing is the best thing that could happen to this kickstarter.

I hope this will be funded. Doom(TM)RL was great and I am sure Jupiter Hell will be awesome!

The pledge total seems to be shooting up now. It looks like ZeniMax has done its part to get this thing funded.

Edit: Wait, it seems there some kind of glitch with the total going up and down on the page.

228 pounds left so it's as good as funded. Congrats :salute:. To be honest I was pretty sure that your goal was too steep, glad I was wrong.

Edit:
Funded!!!
