Kickstarter has been a great boon for PC game development awareness.
Ah, I am glad to see a thought-provoking post, particularly one that shares sentiments with which I agree.
I quote this particular excerpt because ultimately the one large benefit of new social media is awareness. This goes for all forms of entertainment. You correctly surmise that investment and its trappings are nothing new, and that people often overlook the novel introduction of the open age, points I made with my comment that lies directly on Cliffski's blog. As the Enlightenment brought the concept of popularity to center stage, we enter an era where anyone can experience what everyone offers. Having awareness of the process is an important part of being an investor, too.
Perhaps a bit grand for the simple argument of crowdfunding for games, but let's be honest, this is a crucial stage for PC game development. Even the kingpin of Steam has its Greenlight, mobility has $1-5 games, consoles are dying even with AAA; this is a place PCs can shine and define the next generation. It just needs to be done in a responsible fashion, and I think that's part of the issue many people have with the system. Cliffski, I feel, approaches it with good points from a game developer's perspective - but I also feel it is rapidly becoming an obsolete position. |
