Microcline posted:a single AAA flop (Star Wars: The Old Republic). Uhhhhh they made all that money back in the first two months and it's the third most popular MMO out there last I saw and was making bank off cosmetic poo poo. Might wanna rethink your stance there. Also  Star Citizen will kill crowdfunded video games when it fails to come out forever.

DatonKallandor posted:"So we're gonna hire you." "Great can I have my first couple months pay right now?" It doesn't work in the non-video game world, why would it work that way with a publisher? You clearly don't understand video game development. Are you even a dev?? The one thing I've learned from kickstarter games and the drama with it and other crowdfunded stuff is that game making is completely different from any other kind of job and is actually harder and more complex than anything else attempted by man and is never ever on track with their own goals or estimates and everything will take 10 years to accomplish anything. It's really weird.

FreeKillB posted:Technically the investments aren't confirmed but are merely reserved, in that after the campaign ends anyone with a reservation will get a formal description of the offering and the option to confirm their investment. It looks like they'll only offer that option up to a certain point, which if the campaign ended now would be only $1.2 million. The $2 million amount is the maximum amount Obsidian agreed to allow, but it's a little opaque whether the fact that the 'current cap' is determined by Fig or Obsidian, and I expect that similar to Psychonauts 2 they won't necessarily decide to offer the full $2 million. This sounds insanely confusing to me who had never heard of fig and even though I got the email from obsidian I thought it was a scam website

the coolest part about kickstarter is getting emails 5 years later with a game in that you dont remember ever backing or what because it's been so long. downside is you probably forget about the cash you spent on these things

Fig just feels like a scam even if it isn't. The whole thing just smells wrong and I can't tell you why cause i don't even care about whatever the creators did. The website just gives off scam vibes and i really want the freaky horror xcom to succeed

DatonKallandor posted:It's a sibling of Star Citizen. The conmen in charge are good friends, they even did cross promotion and they're both not building a game in a sustainable way, just promising more features to draw in more money so they can promise more features. It's just less high profile than the spaceship jpg emporium. It's so amazing to see the legends of yesteryears Origin coming back to scam nerds outta money once those nerds grew up and got money to burn. It's breathtaking in a way.

I can't wait for it to become a gamergate/trump thing and get super politicized. That's the logical next step in this sort of thing really.

Thundercleese posted:Hey y'all I'm the developer of this game! (Big thanks Manyorcas for the writeup a few posts up.) I knew even a year ago when I started on this path that it was going to be a tough sell, so I made as big and polished a demo as I could and now it's just a question of whether that show of competence and good faith is enough to overcome people's skepticism of game Kickstarters, and whether the audience I thought might be out there for this niche will find it. If I'm wrong... well, the all-or-nothing model is a good thing for everybody in this case. Taking nobody's money would be a whole lot better than taking not enough. It looks pretty neat and I wish I had money I could throw it at you. I've been enjoying the demo so far! Maybe try to shill it at some star citizen dudes, they spent 150 million on a scam game so maybe they'd give you some cash for a game that actually exists and will exist and is real? Maybe try to sell your blood to backers like Garriot is too lol. Hope you get the money you need dude!
