I would feel the exact same way because I already understood it wasn't one big macro ask.

But to further answer your question, I would feel great about it if we could say the first proposal was the working game.

Let's call the working game--already more than fully funded by the community and a VC-- the first job to complete and then they can come back and ask for more.

But the progressively higher asks making me feel better about it? That's the basis for the word con man. The scams that created the term con man are based on a scam structure where a CON-fidence MAN gains your confidence by delivering on several smaller but ever increasing tasks/investments and then has the big ask at the end which is ultimately the con.

I'm not saying that's what is happening here but I am saying that it certainly doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy when I see the structure of this.

They should deliver the fully funded game.
