Jerk McJerkface posted:I have no money so I'll spend five dollars to buy nothing with the promise of getting nothing in the future. Gotcha. The main reason to pledge $1 or $5 is so you can make comments and receive updates. You can always amend your pledge later if you go for a level, and it's incredibly unlikely that you won't be able to cancel in the last 24 hours because the project funding will fail without you.

Every time we're ready to go, someone else comes along who will also be first against the wall and we have to build an extension.

Dieting Hippo posted:I watched it all, one part that stood out to me was Princess Peach has never been in a game as a protagonist. Except that game on the DS where she was, but we don't count that because ________. Yeah, I noticed the cherry-picked examples as well. The other egregious example of cherry-picking was that Sarkeesian spends over 20 minutes ragging almost exclusively on Nintendo for their lack of female protagonists, and never once mentions that Nintendo were in fact the first game company to release a major game with a female protagonist - namely, Metroid.

senrath posted:Based on the FAQ it looks like they're making a "clean" and an "adult" version, and are skirting around Kickstarter's rules against adult content by saying they'll only spend the money on the nonadult stuff, which will be used in both versions of the game and seems rather shakey to me. Being hardened by years of internet use to the point where I can survive exposure to almost anything, I braved the Wiki. It uses the ever-popular tactic of "Wait! This demon may look like a barely pubescent girl, but it is over 1000 years old!". In context, I shouldn't have to explain why.

It's actually worse than that. The monsters "fight" by trying to rape the PC, and he loses if he enjoys it.

Fatkraken posted:No one has said the fact the sons were acting like jackasses makes her a bad parent, her REACTION to it makes her parenting skills questionable. Kids can be arseholes, but the answer is not to make a kickstarter on one child's behalf where you attack and belittle the others. Publicly ridiculing your sons doesn't help your daughter, and it certainly doesn't help your sons or the family dynamic as a whole. Yeah. Taking one kid's side and publicly berating the other two is probably the best way I can think of to ensure that girl is going to get rabbit punched every day for the next year.

Orzo posted:What does Kickstarter's policy say about friends or family members contributing large sums to make sure a campaign succeeds? Nothing. Why would they, when they get a percentage of it? And why should they, when it doesn't matter where the money comes from so long as the job gets done and the backers get their games? Combine the two facts, and KS would prefer people to do it that way instead of asking for $2500 while their family and friends will kick in $2000 direct.

TheJoker138 posted:His introduction to this video really sounds to me like he's saying the CEO is really, really angry that Dyack's involvement in all of these scandals is effecting their business, and this is him desperately trying to stop that. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if after this they continue to not get anywhere near their goal, we hear Dyack has been fired. Here's how they should do it. They should start again with a goal of $400k, which they might get. Then announce a stretch goal at $1.35m of a new writer/producer/whatever on the project, except instead of naming a big name hire they say they'll fire Dyack.

Tazzillekki posted:How is asking for financial support with no direct profit to the financier perfectly okay but asking for musical support while offering nothing but exposure and beer is unbelievably evil? Don't coddle them, they're adults and know what's in their best interest. Because in the former case, the person asking didn't have $1.1m in their pocket. You may also want to look at Kickstarter's staff recruitment page, where they tell you all about how Palmer invited them to a VIP party after the funding drive. How strange that she had enough money to throw a party for strangers, but not enough to pay people she needed to tour her album.

Bruxism posted:Boss Monster is a physical product that ended up tacking on a bunch of additional physical items thanks to stretch goals. I was afraid they were promising too much, but once my game arrived in the mail I was pleasantly surprised to find it overflowing with all the promised items produced in good quality. There wasn't all that much extra. Foiled versions of the monster cards, a six-card bonus pack, four shiny metal Level Up counters and a sleeve for the box that spoofs the golden Legend of Zelda box. A poster child for successful Kickstarters is Mantic Games. They were a tiny company with three staff making miniature gaming rules until their first Kickstarter, which made $500k. Their second made $730k, their third broke the $1 million mark, and two years on they're starting to rival Games Workshop. Deadzone hasn't hit the streets yet, but Dreadball has multiplied its original backers several times over since going retail.
