More than 5 years ago a website popped up that promised to develop a D-Day game, It is a shame that I can't exactly depict what their announcements and especially their donation policies looked like. But to anybody sane it said something like that:
"We create a own game with 200.000 different units, 50 weapons, and 200 vehicles. Because it is so easy, while doing that we also create it as a mod for BF2 and Half Life. The game features everything you were ever dreaming of, just suggest it and consider it to be ingame. To get insight in what we do you can get a unrestricted forum account that lets you post whereer you want and even gets you access to some special parts of the forum, you just got to pay a little money. To additionaly get a place as a betatester (when the first beta will be released) you just have to pay a little more money. You can also have the full betatester package including the final game when it is finished, you know it already it is just some more money we want from you now. You can also have the special package including limited merchandise and shit, just some more bucks. Or you can have the super duper package that even gives you access to our alphas, but this really will cost you some money."
At first I doubted that they were actually working on something because everything they showed on renders you were able to buy on Turbosquid. I considered it to be just a big scam to rip off credulous people.
Meanwhile I think they really want to create a game (if it will ever be finished we will have to see) , but I think the methods they used and probably still use (I didn't visit their site or forums since at least 2 years, so everybody interested should check it out for themselves if it still is the case) to advertise and finance the game are shady.
