The point is that you're not helping it get done at all. Of course they can fund this game without that 2 million bonus. They are just happily shifting the risks of development towards gamers. If this becomes a trend, and I think that is a realistic assumption, this can eventually lead get gamers/consumers taking all the risks, paying for development, instead of the companies. |
Without the Sony E3 Hype, this kickstarter wouldn't even reach its goal within 8 hours.Basically free promo on Shenmue. That is a contribution that cannot be measured by numbers. They actually did something and that was to bring awareness to a cult classic like this game. Hype is the word and you'd be a fool to think $2M is enough to fund this game.
