Regium Chess — Most likely an elaborate SCAM!!

[Nordlandia]

Maybe they wanted to show off that their fake device can handle FRC.

Absolutely.

If this is an elaborate scam!! I am sold, but how do they get my money? Who is going to buy this without independent reviews.

You do have to admit they do CGI very well for a bunch of scammers. If it is a scam. They need to be selling the CGI or stop motion...well done!

It is very obvious that the pieces are 3D projected and not real. Those pieces have been generated by a computer and are not actual pieces. But to be honest, the tech to do something like that doesn't seem too difficult. But if the point of the video was to show a "actual working product" then … yes for sure it is not being honest.

This is one impressive demo for scam!

OK … now this looks very real unlike the other video. But again … this really does not seem like a big deal to make … the technology to make it happen is there and the only thing stopping such a product being made it enough demand for it. At $1600 … I doubt I would buy it … at $500 I probably would!

Is this project still considered a scam? It seems they are still active, and planning a release in December 2020.

I am hoping it isn't but I am not buying one until I see customers posting videos.

IMHO a complete and utter scam!

That 155,000$ number doesn't come from kickstarter or any other crowd funding website source. They are just showing that number on their own website. ( They can express 300 billions on their website .) And they are kicked out from the kickstarter project already due to scam allegation.

I agree! I was just curious because they are still taking peoples money. And producing videos for the product.

This is new: first time I've seen a talking head video in which one doesn't see the head...

[M ANSARI]

There is no doubt the technology to do what is in the video is available today ... the thing is at what price point? I think that was what made the Fund me thing called a scam. Making a certain item is one thing, making it at a price point that is feasible economically can be a completely different issue.
