Board Game Skin Questions

[Captain_Rage]

Technically they are not even selling a product at this point since it is a crowdfunding campaign that is yet to be realized and has not even ended. Still, in that imagine the text says clearly that the user will get a free skin if they subscribe to their newsletter. x) Legally this is probably a grey area.

It would be nice to know what quality the skins which are planned to ship with the boardgame will have. Will they be of "Loyal", "Proof Of Purchase" or some other rarity? Dear Klei developers, would you care to fill us in on this? It is you who handle this part after all and there are already plenty of questions floating around. Thank you.

There is a huge misconception about the in-game skins. They are not time limited. As long as you can get the board game and additional character add-ons for the board game, you'll get the skins. They come with the board game, not a reward for backing the project.

Barely anything on the Kickstarter (board game and in-game) is time limited. The only thing you get for backing early is the Wolfgang expansion free, where later on it will cost money and probably not come with the painted figure. There isn't anything announced that can only be obtained by backing the project. The only indication of this stuff is in the comment below "hidden rewards for backers only":

Backing the project only helps fund it, and the only real reward you get is at the end, you'll get everything in the Stretch Goal bundle for free, where people who did not back will have to pay for it.

I think the Walter skin is exclusive. It says "GCU LIMITED".

That's a pretty common misconception. An advertisement does not require selling a product. Webster is pretty broad, stating a public notice. The ftc doesn't provide a direct definition either, so I clipped this bit from us legal: "advertising is the act or practice of attracting public notice and attention. It includes all forms of public announcement that are intended to aid directly or indirectly in the furtherance or promulgation of an idea, or in directing attention to a business, commodity, service or entertainment."

I don't know the standard that the controlling body goes by, but in this case it is very clearly promoting a site with the promise of a free reward. As a consumer, I'm very alarmed by this. 

Klei is not responsible for this product, but they probably have a contact. I imagine it would be better for all parties to resolve this error@JoeW

Their communication isn't ideal, but anything with that label will not be in physical stores, but is sold on their website

Well, that would fall under the definition. Given how generous Klei has been over the years with handing out free skins for owners of their game for simply logging in at specific time periods it is not far-fetched that a fan of Don't Starve Together would believe they will receive a skin in the game for simply following the project on Kickstarter (like the texts from the GCU advertisement says), since from the looks of it the marketing oozes with Don't Starve vibes and GCU pride themselves in their collaboration with Klei.

More than that, it appears it is possible to follow a Kickstarter campaign without backing. If this is true, and the advertisement is not doctored, and the free content is locked behind a paywall, this is blatantly false advertising. Companies are required to honor the deal to avoid being fined by the federal trade commission. @JoeW I know I'm tagging you a lot here man, but this is serious. They might need your help in honoring the advertisement, or be at risk of fines from the ftc. It would be pretty stupid to watch the money that is given with the intent of going towards the game get used to cover fines.

These laws are in place to protect the consumer. With your companies close involvement, I would expect that you guys would also like to protect your customers. This is your brand, you have insensitive to do the right thing.

I'm asking you, or someone representing Klei to look into this, and to give confirmation that this is being looked into. If this is ignored, I have to assume that it has been read with no intended action.

They keep adding skins as stretch goals. Are they just gonna delete all their work if we don't reach stretch goals?

This is a quick thread I'm making to hopefully get some clarifications regarding the seemingly exclusive skins tied to the Don't Starve board game that's being marketed.

You can find the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glasscannonunplugged/dont-starve-the-board-game

I've recently been finding and seeing talks about some figures and skins being tied to the Board game and its launch, although when I go to look at it myself, I, among some friends, find some of the wording a bit confusing.
For example, the intro page mentions following for a free gift, which seems to be the Pick/Axe skin. Although when asked about it, contributors later clarified that you'd be getting the skin if you followed and backed the project. Which is a tad bit misleading at a first glance.

So rereading this, it's even worse. You made them aware that their advertisement was different from what was being given, and they clearly agreed by adding the later part. They are required to provide what they advertised at the price they advertised it. I have made an attempt to reach out through their Reddit profile, but this is blatantly anti consumer. This needs to be addressed @JoeW. I plan to bring this to the attention of the ftc if this is not acknowledged by either party within the next 24 hours. 

[Siren11]

I checked Glass Cannon Unplugged’s instagram, and even though it doesn’t specifically say in the main posts about the items that were added to the Constant Curiosities expansion that you have to back the campaign, they have been specifying since August that you need to back the campaign to actually receive anything. It’s harder to find than it probably should be and a bit misleading, but I’m not sure there’s really any legal leg to stand on. But honestly, I don’t know much about this stuff. I just want to make it clear that they have been saying this from the beginning. It’s just easier to find that info now.

Edit: for the post about the pick/axe skin, it actually is specified that you have to back in the main post. I think they assumed for the others that the people who were interested would be backing anyways, since a board game expansion is useless without the actual board game.

Don't know about Instagram, but they have not always said that there was any extra requirement other than following. First I heard of the skin was through the first KS update. No mention of having to back the project. The header image doesn't IMO suggest that the gift is tied to the actual game, as there's nothing being shown, other than mock boxes. This prominent image in the post features the skin under the text advertising a "free gift", IMO it's very reasonable to infer that the skin is itself the gift, not the Constant Curiosities expansion. And yes, I know the text in the post does explains that it is only part of the expansion. There's also a link to their blog, where the latest post at the time was a rehash of the KS update post. Again, no mention of any requirement other than following the project. The header this time features the skin. There were other blog posts, also mentioning the "free gift for following", nothing about actually backing the project anywhere. Posts after that, both on their blog and on the KS project, start mentioning the gift being tied to backing the project, but some images still lack that information.

I don't think that's a reasonable assumption, as that would imply a 100% conversion rate, which is definitely not the case. There are many reasons why people can be interested in the project or follow the project but not follow through: not being interested in the actually shown project, not being happy with the prices, missing the campaign window, KS's limited payment options, regional restrictions or extra costs, to name a few. Or being misled. In any case, not backing the project would not invalidate the offer: follow for free stuff.

--

Not directed at anyone in particular, but I'm a bit annoyed seeing people playing devil's advocate. Consumers don't have an obligation to investigate if an offer has hidden conditions. Consumers aren't generally expected to know the ins and outs of a business model, as some have suggested. GCU, on the other hand, should know better. This is their business, after all. They choose to launch a KS campaign and ride the hype and FOMO train. They create their posts and they know their offers better than anyone, but choose to omit relevant information. This is not OK. And Klei is on the hook too, given the big "FOLLOW NOW TO GET A FREE GIFT" with the note "(c) All rights reserved Klei Entertainment 2025" in those images.

I don’t understand why people would even expect a gift they can’t use if they’re not planning on backing the project anyways. The only thing that could be used without the game is the skin, and GCU made it clear (at least on Instagram) that you do need to back the project to get it. You don’t even have to search, it’s right there. To be entirely fair, they should have been more clear on other sites, which I hadn’t looked at, but on Kickstarter specifically there is kinda an assumption that you’re going to be backing the project if you want any of the stuff. 

Images are always going to be a problem since it’s very easy to spread those without the relevant captions. Ideally they should have added something to the image itself and made it more clear in all their posts, but I don’t think it warrants the level of hate I’ve been seeing towards both GCU and Klei. I just want to be sure that all the information is out there (thanks for adding the stuff about the Kickstarter since I wasn’t aware of that and it does make GCU look a little more culpable).

This feels very pointed at me and I don’t appreciate it. I didn’t realize it wasn’t mentioned in the Kickstarter post, that’s on me, but it was absolutely mentioned and acting like it wasn’t is dishonest. Your assessment is fair, but I don’t feel like other people have been at all fair or honest about what’s happened.

What are people even expecting anyways? Do they want a free gift they basically can’t even use? Do they want Klei to give them the skin? If there wasn’t a skin involved, would anyone even care about this?

All the more reason for the relevant information to be included, not to leave it out. Again, they should know better.

"Follow now to get a free gift" in their words, with the skin being the gift, and no other conditions. That's what I first understood.

Probably not. But the fact is that they did say people would receive a free skin, which itself cannot be used to the board game.

Yeah, but that's not enough. They might use different channels to reach different audiences, but they should always include all relevant information, especially the caveat that "free" is tied to giving them money.

Thanks.

Like I said, I think your assessment is fair, and you are right that they should have been more clear. But I also don’t feel right lambasting a very small company for something that might’ve been an honest mistake, especially since I have had issues with miscommunications when I assume people know something they don’t. It’s probably a bit of a projection, but it would suck if GCU got in legal trouble or their reputation was damaged because of a mistake. The worst that will happen on our side is… people won’t receive a skin they thought they would get. Or maybe some people will end up buying a board game they don’t want just to get a skin, but at that point I think it’s on us to work on our FOMO. It shouldn’t have happened, but I tend to give more leeway to small companies and especially ones that aren’t based in primarily English-speaking countries.

[alainmcd]

Mistakes happen, that's IMO not the issue. And I don't believe it'll escalate to any legal issue. The worst outcome for them is likely to be some unhappy people, and that damage is probably already done.

I agree with the sentiment that this shouldn't be blown out of proportion, although sometimes there will be people who are more... passionate. But GCU should know better. And they should know that they should know better. Their business model is built around running Kickstarter campaigns, which rely on trust. They've misled people, intentionally or not, and AFAIK, they haven't acknowledged the error. That's not how trust is built or maintained.

Both the base $80 version and the $130 deluxe version include every skin except for the pick/axe skin which now costs $10 because you didn't follow before the campaign went live, the Wolfgang skin which now costs $10 because you didn't back the campaign at least 9 hours ago, and the football helmet skin which costs $39 and always has cost that as far as I'm aware.

The $130 deluxe edition adds no skins, the $14 terrain pack adds no skins, the $25 playmat adds no skins, the $29 acrylic monster pack adds no skins, and the $29 dice tower adds no skins.

So when mistakes happen in advertisements, the company advertising has to abide by the original mistake. That's what truth in advertising laws are all about.

The laws around it are designed to protect the consumer. if there were no consequences, no one would listen. I would prefer to lead you to make your own investigation. Looking up examples of violations of truth in advertising, and repercussions for said violations will be  really informative. It's reported by consumers, so it's important to know what to do when you see it. Again, because it exists to protect the customers, the guidelines are very strict. Even small things like putting a sale ticket on a full priced item are taken very seriously. 

I really want to stress again that I'm not a lawyer, but a concerned consumer. Anyone with management training in the US should have a base familiarity with it though. I might have more experience with it than some, but this is not legal advice. This is something that should be looked into by lawyers and addressed. I posted about it in the hopes that Klei could relay the message. If the item promised was a in game item, Klei also may want to involve themselves to remedy the issue. I didn't follow it, I only know what's been posted here. You do not need to have suffered any losses to report. There does not need to be a financial loss to constitute a violation. It's a huge deal. That's why I keep tagging Joe. I really can't believe Klei isn't addressing this scandal. I do not have any way to further stress that this is something that needs to be looked into. 

I have started to gather information to compile a report, but if anyone has additional information please feel free to comment or message me directly. If you would feel more comfortable reporting it yourself, I can lead you to the website. I'm not sure what counts as legal advice, so that's about where my comfort level hits it's limit. I encourage you to inform yourself on it though.

(Can we just assume I think GCU should have been more straightforward and they should apologize? Cool? Cool.)

It’s possible they haven’t acknowledged it yet because this is the only place people are really talking about it, and it was only escalated recently (during which time it seems like their PR/customer support team has been on a break).

I’m mostly worried about legal action because people here are threatening to report them. I still think it was most likely a mistake and getting them in trouble would suck for them and for the people who actually want the board game and invested money into this.

(Though actually, I don’t think GCU is an American company, so I’m not sure how that affects this.)

I'm not a lawyer, but I would imagine that apologizing would be acknowledging that they are at fault. More than that, it doesn't move them into compliance. They need to reward the people that followed early.

Its messed up to direct traffic with the promise of a free gift, and then charge money for access to the free gift. They need to honor the original terms.

So this is be a non issue to me. I can't control when joew goes on break. I have no way of knowing if he saw the message and ignored it, or if he didn't read it. Maybe he saw it and didn't care. I would be pretty surprised if no one is monitoring the forums, but I do not operate on Klei's time. I've seen how long they take to do skill trees. This demands immediate action.

I don't know if the ftc gives them a chance to move into compliance. Failure to comply with truth in advertising can result in legal actions, fines, and/or reputation damage. It's obviously never good to be caught lying in an advertisement.

I also believe it was a mistake, but they have to honor the original mistake. A company can't draw you in with false promises, and then sweep the rug out from under your feet. If a mistake were enough of an excuse, large companies would make more mistakes.

I'm not familiar with Canadas competition act or the Canadian code of advertising standards. Kickstarter is an American company, but I dont even know if that matters. The ad is available to Americans, and they trade with Americans. I think companies trading in the US have to comply with their trade laws, but I'm not 100% sure. As a consumer, my only responsibility is to report. I'll see if I can find an email to reach out to the competition bureau of Canada on Monday to see if this is against their regulations as well. I'm just not familiar enough with it.

They keep adding skins as stretch goals. Are they just gonna delete all their work if we don't reach stretch goals?

Kickstarter stretch goals are kind of smoke and mirrors to some extent. The truth is they see the numbers and have a rough idea as to what amount of money the campaign will generate in what amount of time. After you have seen a good number of KS campaigns you start recognizing the same tricks in all of them, the primary purpose of stretch goals is to keep the  excitement and conversation up around a project, so they are paced accordingly. This is also the reason why you cant just see all the stretch goals super far ahead instead of just a bit like they are doing, because they likely get adjusted based on the numbers as the campaign goes on. Some campaigns even drop the whole stretch goal verbiage, and just call them reveals that happen daily.

 

All this to say, as you probably suspect, they arent deleting their work because they are set up in a way to make it extremely unlikely that the campaign doesnt reach them to begin with. Like if we are being honest here maxwell is a stretch goal, but does anyone really think they conceptualized a dont starve boardgame with the possibility of maxwell not being playable in it? It is just a lot flashier and enticing to unlock him.

I had thought physical stretch goals made sense. It's one thing to make up concept art for how the physical thing could look or to say the box will have a UV glow, it's another to actually go through with mass producing it and shipping it to everyone. But with the digital skins they've clearly already made at least the icon for it, if not the whole thing, so it wouldn't really cost them anything to just include the codes if that was true.

But the whole thing being fake makes more sense. I had assumed all the goals were going to be reached, but I hadn't gone that extra step in the thinking with them doing math to project estimations and adjust how big the goals are as the campaign progresses so that they're essentially guaranteed to be reached. I had just thought they were hiding future goals so that we don't feel like we missed out on a ton if we don't go very far, it makes more sense that they're being hidden because they want to be able to adjust the numbers inconspicuously. We must be nearing the end of the stretch goals since they've gone from a goal every $50,000 to every $200,000.

Im sure there are some things they can only do with enough money, but they are definitely well calculated and thought out and arent really unlocked in the way they appear. Most campaigns tend to space the stretch goals more apart price-wise as the campaign goes on, and the final goal usually only appears towards the very end of the campaign to make a final big push for it. Now that push is usually from people who followed the project getting an email reminder that it will soon be over and people jumping into it because they see the timer ticking down. But that big push feeling probably gets people to get expansions they wouldnt have otherwise to add money to the campaign to try and get to the final stretch goal.

So I doubt that the stretch goals will be ending soon, they will most likely get more spaced apart and the campaign will naturally slow down around the halfway point as all campaigns do and then there will be some exciting stuff at the end for a big finish.

There are also some details that show their hand, like maxwell was in the trailer for the campaign and the only other featured characters were the ones in the starting box. Also when you see an image of a figurine, thats a 3D render of a sculpt an artist already had to create and get paid for, so it obviously wasnt just whipped up as the goal was unlocked. The skin stretch goals are most likely money "buffers" for other goals later down the line ensuring there is always some goal being unlocked.

I am saying all this to make sure people dont get too swept up in the hype, Ive seen all this before and had some regrets about backing certain campaigns. The game already seems really expensive with all the expansions and there are likely more coming (all the giants are suspiciously absent), and there was quite a lot of fomo exploiting with the wolfgang expansion and that other one for following early. KS campaigns are about manipulating you into spending a lot on stuff thats years away to come out, with a constant stream of new shiny stuff to wow you with and if you are not used to that its easy to just see a big line of stretch goals and be amazed.
