I don't see why this is much different than any other donation-drive-funded media (NPR, etc). What's the big deal.

This isn't a videogame, per se, but it's gaming-related. There's a Kickstarter for a new gaming convention called Gaymercon.

Dude why isn't there a time management/sim game for gaming conventions.

E3Dash.

I was really disappointed when this was just some "actually meeting people" thing. :(

Shadowrun, Wasteland, Obsidian kick starter... even Chris Roberts back in play! Crazy old school gaming coming out like crazy.

Now I just want Toys for Bob to kickstart a Star Control game, or something as awesome... Though Skylanders is actually a very cool idea, I'm glad those guys are doing successful stuff, not just drinking themselves to death in despair.

Feels like a crazy golden age of gaming coming up, though there will be some spectacular failures mixed in. :)

EDIT: This tabletop strategy game based on Robotech makes me wish I had even the slightest interest in the genre.

If you play/collect battletech, note that it's on the same scale; so it's basically old Battletech 3025 stuff back in print (pretending to be a new game).

Government science grants and military funding should move to a kickstarter model.

At this point he should just make a text-heavy game in RPG maker or something like To the Moon. Better than nothing?

Honestly nothing is probably better than the result would have been.

Yeah, this needs to be on the front page and may possibly be the most important thing ever about kickstarter. Hopefully they'll find a way to monetize YouTube and other video sites, but this is such a brilliantly simple good cause.
