Circuit City seems to have a problem paying their bills or so it seems, as Sony stopped their shipments mid-transit and returned them before hitting the distributors command center. In this unfavorable market climate, with the holidays around the corner, it seems bad for Circuit City to lose the trust of Sony.
Launched yesterday (9/15/12) with the goal of making 1.1M dollars, this morning they are 95% towards there goal. They want to make a game in the spirit of Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape torment. With a month left on there kcickstarter timer looks like they will make it. Might be interesting for The Gaming Podcast.
