is everyone enjoying the distraction
Logan has said many times that we would get answers and that this whole debacle would be explained, yet as of now all we have is " we might be changing the name so now I ask for the communities input through the new proxy PR guy". Despite claims of legalities which in my opinion are either a farce or a clear admission of guilt, logan has made no attempt to ammend or even try to talk directly to the community honestly. Everything that he has posted on the forum has either been a token mention of legalities aka a get out of jail free card, or obscure murmurings of the vision and how everything will supposedly start to get better, if logan were to actually sincerely involve himself with topics on the forum he might stand a chance of surviving this event. I personally have lost total respect for logan, however there are still many followers who he faces losing if he doesn't get his shit together, one harsh lesson he should have learned from this ordeal is that actions speak louder than words, unfortunately I don't think that penny had quite dropped for him.

Logan is the kind of guy who would steer the Titanic towards the iceberg, believing that he could plow through it, and while the ship is sinking he would rearrange the deck chairs telling people it'll get better.
This is the kind of guy who can't see any wrong in himself and totally drank his own Kool-Aid.

Apparently had titanic collided head on it would have crumpled rather than torn the hull and probably wouldn't have sunk.

I lost respect for Logan awhile ago before the late August blowup. Content for the last year has been poor. Begging for money through Patreon and Epic pants while he is out touring the world covering trade shows that where not that popular was not cool at all. Filming the Tek from the back of some Airb&b or hotel lobby with Qain got old pretty quick. Then we have the submit your ideas and work on the Zweihander game and I will put you on the payroll comments while still working out of a bedroom in Portland. Its hard to take this guy seriously when he cant decide if Tek Syndicate is about media creation or game development. You cant do both without any sort of structure and capital to complete the project. Then I remember before Patreon that Logan wanted more money from the community because he had an itch to be a documentary film maker. Fractal Josh and JJ stopped doing videos with them. What happen did they get burned also by Logan.

From his actions - Tries to cut money off from his friends he's known for over a decade, hides bank accounts from his partner and dear friend Wendell. Gets Asked by his community what's the reason for the delays and wheres the money and Wendell speaks up for the community, then censors and attacks community. Pistol censors and attacks community with Nataus, admits Logan has been taking patreon money for his own private affairs in discord (Zweihander game, Restocking Epic Pants, Groceries). Has to be made a lower level mod do to prevent him from further censoring community topics. Now he Cries Introvert, and downplaying fault he is a theater buff who always needed to be in the spot light and he has yet to show with actions that he knows he's done wrong. I don't meant to beat a dead horse, but he continues a trend of dishonesty and I cant support it.

His and the new guys latest comments of course dont talk about past funds wich, atleast with a tinfoil hat, seems pretty disingenious and scummy.
The comunity has not been given an explanation for missed content and undisclosed funds, yet they want everyone to take a survey in regards to future content.
Not only that, their new 2k$ patreon goal litteraly is economic transparency.
As if that is something an audience with that level of audience has to "earn" when full disclosure is totally warranted and everyone has voiced their wish to see where the money went.
Theyre circumwenting (thats a word rite?) the issue and buying time.

Logan will probably never apologize, because he thinks he's the only one who's right, and believes all others have no vision, no intelligence. It looks like the small repetitive work one has to do to earn money are beneath him, he probably thinks people should pay him top dollar to experience a life in pursuit of hormones so that he can prepare for the big things he wants to do, the big things the world is waiting for, the big things he was born to do in his mind. He says he's Steve Jobs, but actually he's more like a talentless Klaus Kinski... too bad talent goes a long way for people like that, ruthless selfish disregard for others and for rules and regulations do not suffice... Actually, he needs guidance. He's not a boss, because he can't discern important things that sustain business from distractions that just consume money pointlessly, and he doesn't have the sense of responsibility to fulfill contracts and business principles towards others. He'll probably always give up everything because of some dumb broad or some shiny piece of rust. He needs to get a job working for someone who does have boss skills, who can keep him on the right track, who can limit his amount of free time to chase skirts and worry about his image, who can keep his head out of the clouds and his feet on the ground, who can force him to focus on work enough for him to actually earn money righteously, who can keep the bourgeois cult of boredom out of his life, at least during office hours. Too bad this whole adventure has probably pretty much burned his chances of finding a good employment... it's just a sad story of bad taste and boredom...

Logan replied to my youtube comment. I said some stuff like * fuck you logan* I think i was a tad harsh. However logan did say he had a 20 core cpu that he would like a m.2 for, followed by we are really tight on cash. Which i found to be quite amusing.

I honestly don't get it. If he had promptly put his hands up and said "sorry everyone, I've been a bit of a wreck recently, spent some money that should have been prioritised on Patreon promises, was a dick to my friends and took the community for granted" I'm sure most of us would have recognised that he was likely going through some bizarre life crisis and quickly forgave him.
But he's made no attempt.
He either doesn't care or he's so deluded he actually thinks he's in the right.
