I backed Anita S.'s right to have her project, and I do think this is bullshit for the most part. If people want to contribute, fine, but so many of them plug their ears, close their eyes and scream "lalala haters gonna hate" because they want to see a unique snowflake's dream's come true  I agree with YKS' stance that it's unfortunate everytime a woman happens to be involved with a poo poo KS there's going to be death/rape threats and thus it's difficult for constructive criticism to get a word in edgewise when everyone takes some idealogical stance rather than "is this a good idea"

Yeah I think this gender discussion belongs elsewhere. Back to terrible KS.

The Incredible Ed posted:Stinks to me of promotion. Using a kickstarter to build excitement and then cancel it, instead taking pre-orders for which kickstarter won't get a cut and they can charge full price. Yeah I'm amazed more people haven't done this despite being against KS rules. Then again KS rules haven't stopped anyone. Still odd considering they hadn't even made their money yet and it wasn't even close to finishing iirc

I'm so sick and tired of seeing lovely kickstarters that it's good to see a developer cut out the middleman and put a crowdfunder on their own page  I imagine it's the same developers of Eternal Darkness in the same way the White House of today is the White House of 1972

Fwiw terms of use is not a contract so how enforceable is that? I know some argument was made about a judge considering a EULA agreement to be like a contract sorry about being vague since I'm not a lawyer or well read on the subject so correct me if im wrong but I imagine one could sue if they clearly acted in bad faith

Accordion Man posted:Silicon Knights actually developed for Nintendo for several years a decade ago and released ED and the Metal Gear Solid remake, The Twin Snakes, under them. Nintendo pretty much kept Dyack in check but he doomed his own company when he broke off the lucrative deal they had going with Nintendo to make his glorious magnum opus that would been known as Too Human, which as previously mentioned is now currently having all unsold copies destroyed due to SK stealing Epic Games' Unreal Engine to make it. What an idiot. Not paying engine royalties is the dumbest thing you can do. I wonder if Too Human will become the ET of our generation

Honestly I don't get the fuss about "celebstarters". While it may be true if they couldnt get traditional funding there might be something wrong with it, but really at the end of the day if they deliver a product to their fans what's the big deal? I have a bigger problem with so called "indie" developers who talk the talk about reinventing the wheel or removing the middle man bullshit and then take the money and run. REAL loving INDIE By the way I fully expect to contradict myself at a later point in time by making GBS threads on some celeb's self-indulgent vanity project and I reserve the right to do so
