I'm pretty damn angry at this Penny Arcade Kickstarter thing.
I love their site and check it everyday. Have all the dvds signed, the podcasts (including D&D ones) and have always thought they were genuinely nice and funny guys. However they now seemed to be involved in some VERY sketchy kickstarter.
The worst part is that they simply have to be lying or not revealing something. Out of the blue they want to swap out reliable ad revenue for crowd funding.... why? Especially when you consider their past comments. Mike once stated that he wished they could have advertised Odin Sphere. Jerry has stated multiple times how they only advertise things they like and want to try and direct you towards.... Yet all of a sudden now they feel these ads are restricting them and they are limiting them somehow and lessening your experience so hey give us some money. It's just incredibly sketchy.
Especially when they are both insanely rich have huge merchandise sales, pax etc and yet they can't afford to lose the 250k a year from ad revenue? And despite having an employee who handles it all somehow not having ads will magically give them vast amounts of time to create new content?
I still can't figure out if it's all a joke. I hope it's all a joke O.o
