| FunFan said: Crowdfunding was supposed to give a chance to anyone with a great idea to develop said idea. Of course that implies you don't have the resources to do it. Big corporations doing crowdfunding are only looking to exploit it. To have customers pay most, if not all of the dev costs while the publishers reap the benefits and the devs are hardly paid. It is too easy for publishers to make projects hostages of the system. I can easily see CapCom putting Operation Raccoon City 2 on crowdfunding then telling the fans they are gauging interest in the RE series and a Resident Evil 8 crowdfunding won't happen unless Operation Raccoon City 2 crowdfunding is a success. Popularity isn't equal to quality, and popular IPs can easily overshadow new ones. Many interesting ideas are going to be buried in favor of crowdfunding the hundred Naruto fighter which is exactly the same as the 99th but now Naruto has a new form with extra tails. Pandoras Box has been opened. Expect many other Companies to exploit crowdfunding too. |
I take it that you didn't read the OP. You're talking about games which have nothing to do with this.
