Alleine für DC haben sie laut Wikipedia schon dreimal einen Zuschuss von diesem Norwegian Film Institute bekommen (1 Mill. NOK, 1,5 Mill. NOK und dann 2 Mill. NOK). Weiß nicht, was für Beziehungen sie mit dem Insititut haben, aber Steuergelder sind meiner Meinung nach woanders besser aufgehoben als Spielen, deren Zukunft noch in den Sternen steht.

Fogg hat geschrieben:Ich habe mir zur Veröffentlichung die physische Version bei Saturn geholt – mit Steam-Key für alle drei PC-Plattformen. Ich hatte aber bislang lediglich das erste Kapitel (fast) zu Ende gespielt. Die Performance-Einbrüche, selbst auf High-End-Grafikkarten, waren mir teilweise zu heftig. Das soll ja mit den letzten Updates besser geworden sein. Wie läuft Dreamfall Chapters mittlerweile?

Literally tearing up as I write the final scenes of Book Five. Will be hard to say farewell to a story told over twenty years…

Also, trying to second-guess the status of Book Five from tweets about script writing and voice recordings is futile. First off, I do not write scripts in chronological order: I write based on when actors are available, or when designers need final dialogue, or what I feel like writing; and I jump all over the place. I know the story in and out, I don't have to write a linear script. Secondly, in the past, I've written scripts the day before we record, or even the same day...and some recordings have taken place only days before release. Reversely, some actors wrapped their Book Five dialogue work months and months ago.

Finally: we're taking the time we need with Book Five to make it great. We're in a pretty healthy financial situation where we can afford to not rush a half-finished game out, and this is our legacy. We care more about wrapping up Dreamfall Chapters in style than we do meeting some arbitrary deadline. The community and our backers deserve a fitting ending, and that's what we're focusing on. If our players get impatient, so be it: in the long run, we'll be remembered for the quality of the game, not how quickly (or slowly) we delivered.

In short: I understand there's speculation, but when we're ready to share a release date, we'll share a release date, and before that anything else is just guesswork. And you won't get very far trying to decipher my tweets for hidden clues, or second-guessing based on previous releases. Every book is different, and Book Five is more different than the rest. It's the end, and we don't want to rush it.
