"The project is over. The game is cancelled." With those eight words, Erik Chevalier alerted his 1,246 Kickstarter backers that the board game they collectively funded — The Doom That Came to Atlantic City — will never see the light of day. 13 months after rounding up $122,874 in contributions, Chevalier has completely pulled the plug on the project, attributing the failure to his own "inexperience in board game publishing," "ego conflicts," and unspecified legal and technical challenges. The cancellation is particularly baffling when you consider Chevalier's Kickstarter overshot its original $35,000 target by almost $100,000.
What happened? That's still not entirely clear, and Chevalier isn't laying out specifics for legal reasons....
