WebDog posted:Co-owns. It was setup by a game developer friend of his who decided that alcohol + games = good social atmosphere. Yahtzee is sort of like a celeb endorsement. The Queensland incarnation seems to be holding up. One small advantage of it being a licensed venue is that it keeps all the kids away. I went to the one in Brisbane a few times when I lived there. It was actually a really neat place, but I had no idea who owned it.

There is no reason for my to expect that. As you and Geist have already pointed out, none of my project so far have been. (Although I should point out that even though my projects have not been successfully funded they were finished successfully. That is a big difference.) I don't think this is really the rich social commentary he's going for, but at least he's trying.

You know if you guys want to know how Yahtzee feels about his persona and criticism you could just ask him. He is a goon after all.

Devil's advocate: Shadowrun Hong Kong was going to come out no matter the Kickstarter status. The Kickstarter was to add additional features and expand the project.

I'm not really seeing the problem with using Kickstarter to generate interest in a project, improve the base product with the funds and expand its scope and reach. That's what an intelligent thing to do with a kickstarter.

 I didn't fully understand this KickStarter, but I think the most important message is that god isn't dead, he's simply in another dimension and has lovely cell phone reception. The Cephas Meter app corrects for the difference in time flow between the mortal world and God's dimension, making your prayers more effective. Mr. Vaughn has already provided us with a handy formula and conversion chart, allowing you to calculate the optimum prayer time for yourself. So why should you invest in it? quote:Sure everything is basic at this point. That is why we need to complete the patent process and make the app. Because when the nuclear bombs begin to fall, and if WW3 happens, face it......you will want a device like this and be able to link with believers. At that point anything will help.

Banjo Kazooie was great, but I'm kind of stunned that hundreds of people paid $500 for a souvenir of a spinoff game, 15 people paid $5k each to cameo in it, and 10 people paid $8k to listen to Banjo Kazooie music being played by an orchestra. This really is what Kickstarter is for: providing mind-bogglingly expensive "exclusive" pop culture experiences for the ultra-rich.

Goons getting mad at other people liking/wanting to pay for things they don't like is incredibly hilarious. Kickstarters are funny when they are idiots who have no idea what they are doing asking for money for projects that are way over their head. Also when the project is an obvious scam and completely unfeasible. These guys know how to make video games and will undoubtedly produce said video game and if you don't like that than don't play it I guess. Can we go back to making fun of 12 year olds wanting to make mega man games again, please?

Isn't the Banjo Kazooie soundtrack pretty simplistic, though? I really enjoyed those games as a child, but I don't know how well they would hold up outside of the game, much less how appreciative they'd be as interpreted by an orchestra.

Paul Zuvella posted:Goons getting mad at other people liking/wanting to pay for things they don't like is incredibly hilarious. The goon was mad because the kickstarter was likely already 100% privately funded and going to come out regardless of how much or little money made it into the kickstarter, which is a lovely thing if you're hiding it but in the case of Yooka Laylee they're pretty up front about it. So you're basically just pre-ordering a game through a website, but there is a point to be made that maybe Kickstarter shouldn't just be a glorified pre-order website for the big players. Thankfully kickstarter won't just become a pre-order site, the big players won't edge 12-year-olds with mega man games out, and goons will never stop posting about what other goons like to do.

Nobody's mad, it's just really funny that they're so openly fleecing people and there are people are so desperate to recapture the fuzzy nostalgia of playing the original games as kids that they're still giving them thousands of dollars anyways.

To be fair, I'd rather give my money to the guys who are openly fleecing me than repeat the "We got more than ten times our funding goal, so let's ask for even more money, then get another publisher on-board to cut our costs further" fiasco from Mighty Number 9.
