I'd back a Supreme Commander 3 kickstarter in a heartbeat but "Wildman"? As much as I admire Chris Taylor and GPG and hope they survive 'Wildman' is just not exciting to me in the least, so I can't see myself backing it.

Curiously, with the supposed freedom from publisher constraints that Kickstarter offers why wouldn't they be interested in making SC3, a crowd favorite.

Why wouldn't any of the AAA established developers try to capitalize on their best properties? Kickstarter is currently topical and seemingly profitable right now and with the very long lead times (probably longest lead times for any specific retail item save Yachts) you would think that SC3 would be one of those first projects to be offered.

To offer new and untested IP, as an established AAA developer, instead of your known good IP, is an unnecessary waste of time.
