The millions of investors were promised a full album with lyrics, vocals, guitars, bass, drums, synths, organs, pianos, backing vocals, harmonies, and a full album of 20 songs, all of which tell a cohesive themed story. Imagine Bowie selling millions of pre-ordered copies of his first album, one year before the album's actual release. I was thinking you possibly meant A16 and prior was the first product and A17+ was the second product but then that wouldn’t fit the 8 years scenario since it hasn’t been nearly that long since A17 came out.

What was the first product that sold millions and then the second product that was just handed over that critics deemed terrible? 7 Days to Die is the House Flipper’s first game. I’m having a hard time with your parallels. My opinion? If millions of people paid for a concept of an album before it was ever even recorded, with the notification that it might never be finished and that it may change in any way during the completion process, then they got what they paid for regardless of when/how the album was finished. Apparently David Bowie was a butcher's delivery boy and madmole flipped houses. I have no idea what previous occupations have to do with anything. Then a lot of people and critics decided that concept of an album that was actively being worked on was terrible, and Bowie promised he would replace that album for free in a year's time with a spectacular finished album (not sure what the parallel to 7dtd is there?)Īnd then 8 (7) years later he still hadn't finished.

I believe he is trying to say "Imagine that for Bowie's first album, instead of selling an album he sold a kickstarter/early access concept of an album that somehow sold millions of copies.
