Don’t know whether they would have been made via alternative means - the sacrifice of shares to the living Stock Exchange that lives within Donald Trump’s hairpiece and that sort of thing - but they came to me via Kickstarter or Indiegogo, and they pleased me. How’s everyone feeling about Kickstarter generally nowadays?Īdam: I have enjoyed quite a few games that went through the crowdfunding process and therefore it is a good thing for me. But actually we are at the point where we can have a great deal of hindsight about Kickstarted games, rather than guessing about how it’s going to pan out or simply moaning about old men making too much money. Today we’re going to talk about CROWDFUNDING, because it is the year 2012. This week is one of the latter: what do we all think about Kickstarter now that its mega-money heyday, at least for games, seems to have passed? Is it a well we'll keep going back to? What expectations and entitlements do we have from developers' crowdfunding promises? Are people buying dreams, or investing in chances? And what about that there Star Citizen, eh?Īlec: Hello everyone. Sometimes it's controversial news, sometimes it's a particular game, sometimes it's a perennial talking point. Once a week most weeks, the RPS hivemind gathers to discuss An Issue.
