Nuns with Guns posted:Probably not but it seems fair to assume people interested enough in video games to watch lets plaus have a pretty goof idea of where to buy video games from. I think Steam for one and DTRPG for the other, if not just googling the name outright maybe with “game” or “rpg” if needed. It would be really good if that was in reality a big barrier to growth, though, because it could be so easily addressed!

Re b) I think at the most Kickstarter should provide notice to the other backers of the suit, but they should not share contact information or facilitate direct contact. I don’t know what criteria KS would use to decide when it was appropriate to send out the notice. (If the complainant had a legal right to the contact information then they could sue for it specifically, right?) Re a) having them navigate the various corporate registries and jurisdictions seems like a lot, especially when DBA rules in some places are just “use that name in business”.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Helping facilitate a backer-driven lawsuit in cases where one is appropriate seems like the least that kickstarter could do to combat grifters on its platform. That doesn't mean giving out contact information to anyone who asks but allowing messages to be sent to backers in cases of that seems totally reasonable. I would not want to be the person at KS who was deciding when it was appropriate to have a lawsuit, I tell you what.

If I want to sue an Amazon seller, Amazon is under no obligation to help me do that, by messaging other customers of that seller or otherwise. It’s just not their role. There’s already the comment system. Project owners can’t delete from there, only KS admins.

When I was on a trip a while ago, I asked my neighbour to take my garbage out. When I got back I mowed his lawn to thank him. I don’t feel like I devalued the labour of gardeners.

moths posted:Had your neighbor raised $2,000 for the stretch goal of "Subjunctive mows my lawn?" I’m talking about exchange of labour as payment, and how that affects (or doesn’t) the respect accorded a professional who might otherwise have provided the same service. I’m not talking about how he communicated the stretch goal structure, or if he considered the favour cashed in to be worth $2000, or anything else related to the finances. I apologize if I didn’t make that obvious.

Because every time someone says 'this is lame' when poo poo like this happens there's people who pop up saying 'actually it's fine I didn't pay my neighbor for walking my dog when I needed it so that's the same of asking for hours of work from a friend after raising money specifically off them adding their effort to the project' In this case it wasn’t walking the dog, it was doing writing work for the other person’s previous campaign, no? It seems to me that they’re exchanging labour that they consider equivalent. Do you feel that the conditions on the ground should change such that such exchanges don’t happen?

sexpig by night posted:If your neighbor was making money off his nicely mowed lawn wouldn't you think 'hey taking my trash out is nice but he should probably just break me off some of that'? No. It’s the same effort for me, and the same expression of reciprocity. If he gets a better offer on his house because there’s a showing the next day, good for him. (To make the analogy work, though, I’d also have to retain the right to make money off the lawn, like the authors did here.)

That company has always been an absolute trash fire and is kinda known for being aggressively awful to it's employees. This is just another massive sign on how much unionization is needed in games development.
