Trust and value are a big things in the hobby, and Tabletop Titans may have made some huge missteps with their new Pop Up Terrain Kickstarter.
A note from the Editor:
The issue isn’t with the idea of who owns what, or even the word Cathedral as we mentioned several times during this podcast- it’s with the lack of disclosure whether vague or not, that Table Top Titans may have had an obligation to have disclosed the project to Upzone as ethical content creators.
We agree that there is plenty of room in this industry for similar products as long as they both provide value- which ultimately is up to the consumer.
If I was a brand, after this, I would think twice before I sent any project to TTT for promotion. Furthermore, if I was any other fellow content creator I would think twice about showing them any of my gear, setup, workflow, or anything proprietary to my business.
It’s also worth mentioning that Upzone did not get any paperwork from TTT that prevented competition with them or even having to return the prototype in the first place, which is part of the problem as well.
I think everyone should read both statements by the parties involved and form their own opinions, as we here are content creators are looking at this a tad differently than perhaps the consumers of said content.
