This is not the twilight zone where the worst case scenario will likely happen. Again, games have diddly squat to do with this.

You say that I don't see the ramifications but I do. On the otherhand, I'm sure sony and other companies see the likely consquences if they try to use crowdfunding to fund every little product, idea or project. They ultimately answer to consumers. It's not like I have faith that sony or other companies will always do right. I just believe that they'll be smart when playing with a loaded gun and not point it at themselves. Ask MS about their DRM policies in '13 and how that worked for them.

 Also, Sony is no saint but it does not have the kind of reputation to suggest that they'll try to screw people over on crowdfunding. 

in the same sense you don't see the good that will likely come from this because apparantly companies are the boogie man that hunt children at night and kick kittins. 

If they would get money from kicking kittens...

Regardless of Sony making the crowdfunding platform, I think companies would still eventually exploit the system, like they have done with many other things. I can see the good in this, the same way I can see the good in pre-orders (securing an early copy) and DLC (further support for games).  But lets be honest, most companies have attempted to exploit these systems. Seems like my twilight zone is well based in history. Crowdfunding will be no different IMO. Don't get me wrong. I would never say Sony is the culprit of this, but they are the ones paving the way.

You and many others are quick to disregard the concerns presented in the negative comments as simply a failure to read the OP or fanboy attacks. I think that shows that you all just don't wan't to hear what we have to say. 

I think the negative views are based on reason according to the expectations we have of the usual greedy enterprise. The positive view is based on faith that this system will only be used for good. That how I see it.
