Op Ed

Destructoid - Publishers accused of trying to exploit Kickstarter.
"We were actually contacted by some publishers over the last few months that wanted to use us to do a Kickstarter," he revealed on his team's own KS page. "I said to them 'So, you want us to do a Kickstarter for, using our name, we then get the Kickstarter money to make the game, you then publish the game, but we then don't get to keep the brand we make and we only get a portion of the profits.'

"They said, 'Yes'."

A developer using Kickstarter can get away with this once, then they're not going to get crowd funded nearly as much. Why give up their credibility for a one-time publisher deal.

Because one time is better than none. Because they can dissolve the tainted studio and form another one and 99% of gamers won't know or care that it's the same people.
