- The Federal Trade Commission has decided against Erik Chevalier in the first case involving a crowdfunding campaign to be brought before the FTC. The campaign was for a game titled The Doom That Came to Atlantic City which received pledges of over one hundred thousand dollars. Backers were eventually informed that the game had been cancelled and there was evidence that the funds had been misappropriated. Eventually the game was picked up by Cryptozoic Entertainment (without any involvement from Chevalier) and backers were provided with copies of the game.
