I think your confusing hostility with critique.
Straightforward? Did you know that they wouldn't be using the Pathfinder rules for the MMO? That's buried somewhere on the site in a FAQ, pretty important information imho if your interested in a PF MMO.
Does this honestly surprise anyone? Using the Pathfinder rules in an MMO is a truly terrible idea.
My problem with the project is that they aren't diverting enough money from Paizo to the MMO and are now using fans to soak the investment for a Tech demo. Paizo has of course already spent money on the project, they are one of the founders of Goblinworks.
Let's assume that Paizo is not in a position, financially, to be able to safely cover the significant start-up costs of their MMO project. Would you rather they just give up and not undertake the project? Or would you rather they turn to a voluntary crowd-funding drive?
