Op Ed

Cliffski's Blog - The kickstarter reality.
But this is not *the* new publishing model, far from it. RPS noted that the developers ‘don’t have a publisher breathing down their necks’. Really? Maybe they have 10,000 publishers now, impatient, possibly wanting contradictory stuff (almost definitely…in fact), and not restrained by the politeness of scheduled milestone meetings behind closed doors. I hope it goes well, but it could get messy.

Plus the developer is boxed into a corner, they know exactly what they have to do with that money. This is not always a good thing. I ship maybe half the games I start. Gratuitous Tank Battles was not the game I intended to make. I intended to make a life-sim game, then abandoned it to make an RTS, then it morphed into GTB.

You're the one that jumped on me for saying that the bulk of projects cap at $60k by posting irrelevant movie industry facts.


People (you and Prez, who is hateful and cowardly and someone I'm happy blocked me) are getting angry at me saying that this isn't the next new frontier. If you agree with that stop quoting me angrily.

You're the one who came with arguments you pulled out of your ass saying "He's right in saying that this can never take off. Like I said in a prior post, had this not been Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer it would have earned $60,000 like every other video game kickstarter. " which you have been soundly disproven by me, Dev and anyone with a rational mind.

So to answer you, I jumped in because you were pulling stuff out of your ass and branding them as facts and you saying this isn't the next frontier? Yes it is, not this specific business model but models that are akin to this, ie, models that allow gamers, consumers to have a more significant impact on a game's development, and by that I mean it doesn't necessary means crowdsourcing since there are other models as well.

Can never take off? Already did.
