Weekly paid tournaments have been taking place for this game, supposedly being funded by Amazon.... except Amazon has not paid for the majority of the prize pools yet.

Is this just another sign that they don't give a single solitary sh*t about Crucible or its few remaining players? Or is there someone on the dev team who can give us some insight into why these payments are so incredibly delayed? It's a bad look for crucible, relentless studios, amazon games, and, unfortunately, for the tournament organizers (through no fault of their own) as well. Amazon is really doubling down on making this game fail, as if they had any hope to begin with.

Hey op,

Quent (Rival rep) replied elsewhere in this thread, but I'll reiterate so you have the Relentless version as well. Simply put, the prize payments aren't late - NET60 is a pretty standard payment timeline for tournaments. That said, we can always do better and we're looking at ways to optimize for future months. 60 days is the limit, not the goal.

Good to finally hear from someone on Amazon's side, considering that's where the money is coming from.

The net60 payment timeline wasn't clear to me until today, and it seems like that may have been the case for other participants as well. I'm glad Relentless is stepping in to give an official statement, and I'm glad that you're shooting for better than 60 days as a payout timeline in the future.

Glad I could help. There's still good feedback here. I've asked Rival to more explicitly call out NET60 in their rules.
