One of the main things I don't like about Kickstarter is people who have money, want other people to put their own money up to develop a game. Meaning they, the developer, take no risk and reap all the rewards from a game. I will start supporting Kickstarter when they start giving back the money plus interest to those that front money. Til then its just a scam to increase their own bank accounts Now that is only for established developers, those just starting I can understand why they'd need help but I still feel they need to give the money back since they aren't putting any of their own money in. |
It is designed to remove risk for projects. I do not view these as investment opportunities. I would have gladly have given them $15-25 for this game when it was released, so if I pre-order and get input on its development that is just a bonus for me. No one is forced to do this and allows gamers to put money where there mouth is to see if certain games are desired or not.
