Late to the party. Damn that escalated quickly!
This is one of those subjects that can be seen good or bad and you can easily bend it to what you want to be. For example Sony fans will see good in it while all others will see bad in it. I can also bet now that a lot of the people for or against it would think opposite if their "rival" company did it.
Sony fans, what would you think if MS did it? MS/Ninty fans, what would you think if your company did it?
My stance is somewhere in the middle. It's great that you can help unique/risky products see the light of day and also great that you can be the first to get your hands on these products before anybody else at a reasonable price. But I just hope that is stays on risky projects and not for stuff for things like "the next iPhone". This could be the start of an advanced preorder system rather than funding unique projects.
This subject will be split down the middle but just respect each others reasons and debate your reasons not like children. That way you can get to see both sides and get clearer picture for yourself.
Remember every subject you'll ever come across isn't black or white, they're all gray. We need opinions from the white and black sides to get to the gray truth.
