This Ashes of Creation disaster just got even uglier -- the failed MMO's founder and ex-CEO Steven Sharif is accused in a leaked ledger of blowing over $40,000 of that $3.2 million Kickstarter haul on Magic the Gathering cards plus a $21,000 personal chef who only cooked for him and his husband at their mansion while the studio burned through cash on DoorDash, antiques, and Amazon sprees before laying off the entire team and killing the game. Yeah the guy who hyped "no greedy corporate overlords" allegedly treated backer money like his own wallet until investors dragged him to court -- classic crowdfunded MMO clownery where the dream dies but the TCG collection lives on.
