| Slimebeast said: I just realized Frontier Developments have made Kinect games and stuff and like you say, they're a company with over 200 people! So now I'm asking how can this David Braben have the stomach to come to Kickstarter and ask for $2 million, and make it all sound like he has this dream of re-creating Elite but it is up to the gamers, when in fact he heads a big company that could easily launch a project of this size without asking anybody. I imagined David Braben as a true indie guy hiding in a small cellar office, not to be a corporate king with an army of 200 employees. |
Well that's because he can't get the investor funding for the game he wants to make and doesn't want to make another Kinect game instead.
The whole Kickstarter game funding hype started with Double Fine's adventure. Double Fine's Tim Schafer isn't exactly a small cellar indie guy either. Incidentally also after making Kinect games. Coincidence? lol.
