The way they set up circumventing their own measures to stop the pump in early sales isn't dumb, it is damn near freaking genius in a disgustingly amoral manner.
Normal Devs: "Here's the update, here's a link to the website containing details." Shane: "Here's a link to a website, you're going to see a download link. DON'T CLICK IT! Instead look for the hidden phone number at the bottom right of the page, call that number. My mate Dave will pick up, repeat the password "Earth 2, Take my Money Boogaloo" and your credit card information. He's going to hang up. In three days, THREE DAYS, you'll get a package containing a small vial of viscus liquid, a voucher for a single ShaneCoin and a torn page from an internet directory from the year 1996, go to that URL and you'll find all the latest deets on our crazy new update!"
"We're making something, we can't tell you what most of it is and the parts we do tell you on our not-white paper may not be real, but do keep giving us money"
Well have to think of it from their mind set. If you dumped your life savings into buying jpegs of a land square you have to delude yourself that it going to make you rich. This right here is what American dream , people thinking they can get rich and paying scammers for it. Old "prize in ever bar soap" scam from old mining camps.(ie Deadwood)
Professional trainer here, and I see one part lying, one part I-have-to-do-this-in-one-take, and two parts not-used-to-formal-speaking in Shane's mannerisms and body language.
"We have competitors, thats why we can't give updates, not because there is nothing to update you about" is the oldest excuse in the scam artists book.
I think the circumventing of their own no pre-sale policy is not dumb but evil. There is no way Shane isn't doing it on purpose. The guy might be incompetent at everything else, but fleecing his "players" is his profession and he isn't half bad at it.
What a genius move, tell people the white paper is a draft and then open up a feedback email just for the white paper. This way they can find out what is good and what is bad and change the white paper based on the feedback.
Depends which kind, but prices around $0.25 aren't that uncommon for a simple Omni one which doesn't even sound all that bad. These work with a PC, some cameras, smartphone, or digital voice recorder, depending on the plug. Once you pay tens of dollars, you get a little battery compartment for the cameras that don't supply bias voltage.
He's "speaking in tongues", so when anyone accuses him of talking gibberish he can tell them that the lord was speaking through him and only non-believers can't understand. Where as those who are blessed can...and should spend more money on buying Jpegs.
It sounds like they're really trying to create an economy simulator, but have no idea how economics works. I think it is about time people who know nothing about economics made games. We need more incompetants to make games instead of becoming government economic advisors.
"this allignment of: year, month, day, hour, and minute will not happen again, and that's just special"......ummm, I'm pretty sure that's just how time works, is he high? then again this is the guy who claimed ownership of the concept of loading graphical data from the HDD through the use of the GPU...so i guess claiming to be the guy who came up with the concept of LENEAR TIME is right in his wheel house.
true. E2 is essentially just a Shane GoFundMe but with bells and whistles - like one of those toy piggy banks that have places to build LEGOs on or add beads (like the E2 Gems)
If you are old like me and pay attention you can see the smile in his eyes that goes together with the "I can't believe they still buy this shit" behind it. =) I (used to) know people like Shane, very well. Shane is a bit of a scoundrel. lol
Circumventing their own rules to scam people is Crypto 101, not a new thing. The classic is "To make sure you guys aren't the victim of a pump and dump or a rugpull, you can only sell the token after holding it for a week or 2.", then the price shoots up on launch because that sounds like a good thing, then the only people who have the token for 2+ weeks are the developers, so they mass sell, tanking the price, and leaving people with shitty tokens they can't even sell for another week.
Was the video actually posted at 22∶22 Australian Eastern Standard Time? That would be odd, given that Australian Eastern _Daylight_ Time remains in use until the first Sunday in April.
Shane: "we will not sell our crypto to people with big money because we want to safeguard the players" Also Shane: "to earn our crypto you can buy big plots of virtual land with big money" ... Riiiiight.
Bets on how long it will take for someone (possibly Kira lol) to use their feedback email to simply ask "E2 game when?" Highly doubt that anyone will get anything besides an automated response but hey I can dream.
My heart would be "with Players" too if someone gave me millions dollars so can live in style with out actually doing anything but making a web-portal that I could code in a week and not actually making a game.
Shane releases a document and roadmap - adds "this is not a document, or roadmap and could be complete nonsense" - Its like he works for star citizen or something.
@@lenol0315 did you have any proof of what are you saying ? You know you could be call in a court for slander? Earth 2 is a legit project for an amazing game that requires time. If you have any honest question feel free to ask, if I will try to give you an honest answer with pleasure.
...is this really the same Shane as we had in all the previous media? This looks like a failed clone. It shares the same lies and horrible mannerisms, tho. Edit: he looks like a homeless person. Not just how he's dressed, but also how he behaves in front of the camera. This is the dude who's supposed to inspire other people to invest in hot air? 2nd edit: ...play to earn. But you'd have to have a game for that. And Earth 2 is not a game. 3rd edit: "I'm so proud of what we made together." You're proud of a cesspool of toxic and immature people who make money by lying? What?
How in Geronimo's Cadillac did the world of Star Wars Ep. IX meld with reality? I swear, if he now brings in a sister/not-sister as his partner in crime, I'm done with it all
Wait wait this is the earth 2 man. The man that literally looks like a stereotypical cult leader. Just stick some incense in the background and few pillows and boom guaranteed official cult.
"...players, hundreds of thousands..." man, his stuff must be really dope, pure as f** ... or he's been dropped way to many times on his head during his childhood (and mby even longer) edit: also - origins of "Tard pose" (it's not enough to call this T-pose)
You would have to wait for 200 years for another twos day and that is assuming it fell on a Tuesday I did not go ahead 200 years on my calendar to check
The way they set up circumventing their own measures to stop the pump in early sales isn't dumb, it is damn near freaking genius in a disgustingly amoral manner.
It's a Pump & Dumb.
Because they're immoral AND illiterate. (Amoral and a-literate?)
I mean, at least the time for which you've been playing also counts...
It's clever but not very smart. Because if it was smart then there wouldn't have been any need to do it in a such a bizarre way.
Fun fact: they're actually recording this in E2, which explains why Shane was T-posing at the beginning of the video
So are his eternally erect nipples the vertices of his model?
@@kinryuten I didn't notice this at first. Dude needs a bigger shirt.
Genuinely believe this until I realized that earth2 is not this advanced

This comment. 🤣
"Players" ? You mean "payers", Shane.
"We're making something, we can't tell you what most of it is and the parts we do tell you on our not-white paper may not be real, but do keep giving us money"
"we have plans to charge you for images of completely other categories of thing. And I use the term 'thing' loosely."
Earth 2, the one game that gives me entertainment without needing to be an actual game
... without having to buy any of it...
Fake news! It's not a game, haha
"Not a gamer. Not gaming advice."
This is def true actually enjoying just the website lolllll dude it's fun
I think he's been smoking some of that plant in the corner.
"This is a draft and will be subject to change every time we don’t deliver or feel like making changes to suck more money out of the community"
Star Citizen Roadmap vibes right here
Shane talks like he's delivering a solemn eulogy at a funeral.
Just saw the comments in the update video, the amount of fan boys holding on too any shred of hope is plentiful
*pitiful
to*
The sunkenest costiest sunken costs

I think he should've gone even farther from the camera, the mic is still able to pick his voice up
That was a lot of words, to say pretty much nothing.
In other words, a typical day in E2.
"Players".. That's a funny word for Investers. Right now the only thing being played is the community - cause there's no game right now
Professional trainer here, and I see one part lying, one part I-have-to-do-this-in-one-take, and two parts not-used-to-formal-speaking in Shane's mannerisms and body language.
Dropping his arms, realising he doesn't know what to do with them anymore and clapping them back to a scholar's cradle just broke it for me
@@dirkhirbanger4153 Yep. Pro tip: just leave your hands at your sides. It looks fine, though it feels weird as hell on the presenter's end.
In a nutshell. You got it.
"We have competitors, thats why we can't give updates, not because there is nothing to update you about" is the oldest excuse in the scam artists book.

Of course it's a cult. Once you have a beard like that you're legally obligated to start a cult
I was gonna say "that's one cult-sized beard right there".
You'd think a "wealthy" guy like Shane could afford a $200 lapel microphone.
The mic he's using is from a $200 laptop from the 90s.
Last I checked they're like $30 or less now.
Depends which kind, but prices around $0.25 aren't that uncommon for a simple Omni one which doesn't even sound all that bad. These work with a PC, some cameras, smartphone, or digital voice recorder, depending on the plug.

Or a shave

@Jimbo Bimbo Let them fly into the sun.
I’m only 5 minutes in and I can already hear what their fans are going to say.. -_-
It has crypto… and that apparently makes it a game.
The thing about "Soon" is that it is always tantalizingly close yet forever out of reach.
"this allignment of: year, month, day, hour, and minute will not happen again, and that's just special"......ummm, I'm pretty sure that's just how time works, is he high? then again this is the guy who claimed ownership of the concept of loading graphical data from the HDD through the use of the GPU...so i guess claiming to be the guy who came up with the concept of LENEAR TIME is right in his wheel house.
Massive update - oh hold on its just a monologue about an update
Been starving for more e2, can't wait
Cheers Cal
Who wants to bet this will end up as a pump in dump? So much for this magical game, it should be renamed as ‘Shane’s piggy bank’ at this point.
true. E2 is essentially just a Shane GoFundMe but with bells and whistles - like one of those toy piggy banks that have places to build LEGOs on or add beads (like the E2 Gems)
Ah yes. Earth 2 is another glorious step towards crypto being criminalized. Lets just hope its quick
... not quick enough...
Goddammit, Callum, I love your videos but you made me watch his whole dragged shit I swear!
big talent
big talent sees warning sign
big talent runs away
Dude is wrong right from the beginning. we need to wait 200 years to have a proper 2/22/2222
Shane looks a lot like Patrick Rothfuss (another grey bearded old man who has promised something for years(a book) but has never done it either)
If you are old like me and pay attention you can see the smile in his eyes that goes together with the "I can't believe they still buy this shit" behind it. =)
I (used to) know people like Shane, very well. Shane is a bit of a scoundrel. lol
For some reason, I'm smiling the most thus far at the lines, "You can't tell me this isn't a cult."
He reminded me of one of those germaphobes, who live in a plastic bubble and polish every baked bean before eating it.

He is selling it twice, even though the tokens represent the existing mined things, they can only be purchased from him.
The guy looks like a cult leader.
he's a reverse dorian grey- as his meta-self stays constant, the aging for both of them has transferred into his real self
I didn't realise Shane was an Aussie. I'm so sorry.
This was glorious.
they keep saying "players" but i don't think it means what they think it means.
Was the video actually posted at 22∶22 Australian Eastern Standard Time? That would be odd, given that Australian Eastern _Daylight_ Time remains in use until the first Sunday in April.
Lol "not ready to show certain things yet" wow wtf
Shane: "we will not sell our crypto to people with big money because we want to safeguard the players"
Also Shane: "to earn our crypto you can buy big plots of virtual land with big money"
...
Riiiiight.
He looks so bad. This has broken him and he’s hardly started building it.
I'm 75% into the video and oh god is whenever Shane says more and more and more my body just aches.
Earth 2 will be ready in 2-22-2222
The fact that his video was not horizontally aligned is...frustrating. They can't even get *that* right.
Bets on how long it will take for someone (possibly Kira lol) to use their feedback email to simply ask "E2 game when?" Highly doubt that anyone will get anything besides an automated response but hey I can dream.
Just wait for the real big news, when the 2's actually align. 200 years from now... Maybe even 22200 years from now...
All Hail Binary!
I think he thinks it'll work again. with 3's.
Calum looks like he goes to raves
Gandalf started selling crypto?
amazing video as always
How long before earth 2 fans start going: "all hail the white paper"
Ah, a fellow thunderf00t watcher
I feel like I can smell Shane's armpit odor through the video. Like, for real. It's that disturbing.
22/12/2022 has just as many twos so he only needs to wait 10 months.
Something's fucked up with how he holds his arms.
Nervous. Sweaty armpits.
He has become part of Earth 2, hes now a Character with restricted movement
It's where we are headed. Maybe. For discussion. But no commitments.
But we're keeping parts of it hidden...
LOL Hopefully this will be Finally Done in 100 years!
My heart would be "with Players" too if someone gave me millions dollars so can live in style with out actually doing anything but making a web-portal that I could code in a week and not actually making a game.
Callum, Please do not point out Nips in future videos all I could do was focus on that(
Who the fuck is looking to copy Earth2? Honestly.
How did Shane age 20 years in, what has it been, 6 months? He looks like he's gonna become a hermit.
That's what happens when you smoke 10 cartons of cigs a day
They never said Earth2 time is 1:1 with fiat time.
It has been 32 years in Earth 2, he is now PART of Earth 2
That beard and hear he look like one those cult Gurus, LOL.
These “shane aging “ memes😂😂😂
Shane releases a document and roadmap - adds "this is not a document, or roadmap and could be complete nonsense" - Its like he works for star citizen or something.
Idk whose worse anymore...safemoon cult members or earth 2. They really should just merge together at this point.
First thought when the guy appeared on the video: this guy is the guru from a sect lol
1:35 I literally had the same face as you in disbelief that they just said that lmao, these people are weird bruv hell nah LOL
I have a Nonbachelor's undegree in notfinance, thank you very much.
From Decentralized University?
That'd be good old D.U. My alma blather. GOooooooo Auditors!
I don't understand how anyone has confidence in this man and trust him with money. He has zero charisma.
Lol held at gunpoint makes you like the 3rd UA-camr who thinks that.
Thanks for the not financial advice
It pains me to watch Shane deliver his teleprompter, I-messed-up-don't-sue-me monologue. The cringeness is killing me.
Hes a scammer😂

Wait wait this is the earth 2 man.
The man that literally looks like a stereotypical cult leader.
Just stick some incense in the background and few pillows and boom guaranteed official cult.
He's straining really hard in that too small shirt to look muscular and it's hilarious
Hyped
Cal... His eyes are up there.
I'm still waiting for the "game" that "players" can "play"...
So it is big news not so big news big news... cool.
Maybe by 22/2/2222 I'll understand what Earth 2 even is.
One year later and still no white paper.
All that meth is catching up to Shane... xD

Shane takes a long time to make his pointless
Soooooo...they set up a burner email account for ‘feedback?’ 🥴🥴🥴
with all those millions they have you think they could buy 1 RODE wireless mic so we can hear him. :)
