Disclaimer: I have never ordered a game from breakerbox or played one of their games seriously, but I have followed many of the threads he's posted and talked to people who preordered them.
I agree with allot of what Jade is saying, but I can't just ignore what was brought up in posts 14 and 26.
Why would he come out with new ideas when he hasn't finished his old ones yet, why is he not devoting his time to improving his reputation and making his preorder customers happy?
Probably because he's decided not to do those projects anymore for what ever reason, (family or work obligations, lack of resources do to funding falling through or an unexpected increase in price, burnout do to criticism or an absence of motivation, ETC) and since they were only preorders, that's fare enough, disappointing maybe, but that's what you sign up for by doing that and it's common in the mainstream world as well.
Here's the thing though. To my knowledge he has refused to publicly announce the discontinuation of any of these projects, even those that have been delayed for years now, nor even give concrete updates on progress most of the time, and only after he's been hounded about it for weeks.
Not only does this mean that people must dispute the charges to get their money back, rather than being refunded as a group which is standard practice when a preorder goes bust, but it also means that he is actively fucking over the people who have been waiting for so long by wheeling out shiny new projects on a silver platter, which he has time to talk about apparently, while completely ignoring the reasonable concerns of those left in the dust, even when he is asked directly in those threads about it, something which he doesn't even dignify with a request to email him instead of shitting on his new game idea.
That's why your going to have a hard time getting people to agree with you when it comes to perceived improvement on any front, because that's exactly what we've all been trying to convince our selves of as it is, for years.
It's entirely possible for someone to use up all their good will and get run out of town on a rail, and with all the chances he's been given it's not all that unreasonable either, many communities would have flayed him alive for this much sooner, and warning potential new victims is just a natural consequence.
So at this point I don't really have much sympathy for his bad planning, because he clearly doesn't have much for his customers, and I've already seen too much willful ignorance from devs in this community over the years to cut him any slack, especially since he's charging for his games.
If you enjoy his released games, than by all means you should buy and play them, but when it comes to new titles he just isn't trustworthy, and it's only natural for that kind of crap to spill over and damage his reputation at large.
