Crowd funding games is just wrong, not when there's a giant corporation that can easily afford to make the games for its user base. I don't work for Sony and I am not a sponsor, my hard earn cash isn't so I can help a corp think about investing and making games.
The idea on why we chose there platforms is because we trust them to supply us the games, not have the community make them instead.
Honestly would you pay Microsoft or Nintendo to help make there games? Even though they sit on billions of dollars.. No I wouldn't. Understandable if its those tiny indies developers like the ones who make 5 Nights At Freddie's or One Finger Death Punch as examples.
Its a good idea when there not sure about a game but those in this thread that support this idea only because they want to help the company then go buy shares or donate, don't force these silly ideas onto the gaming community.

Did you read the OP? It has nothing to do with games.

You dont understand, this is obviously a tactic to see if it works, it can implement into gaming not far from now. This could possibly be the way games could be made soon, where big companies dont have to spend a dime anymore for our entertainment.

That scenario really doesn't make sense. Say Sony say 'We won't give you GT7 unless people pledge $10 million", and then they don't raise $10 million (because there isn't many people prepared to crowd fund). End result the game doesn't get made. Who does that help? It doesn't help Sony because thats a massive exclusive that drives people to buy their consoles. And they risk conceding a huge number of GT fans to other racing games which might not be on their console. So GT7 will always be made and funded by Sony, because they need a game like GT7 to exist to sell their consoles. The same applies for other games.
