When will people stop giving to kickstarter?

Just back the good projects.
Never
The "average" person is a colossal idiot.
>tfw pledged to get the Uematsu OST
Also, the updates are generally fucking blogs about the project lead's life. It seems highly unprofessional.
>>319691297
>Let's delay till 2018
> Maybe people will just forget about it and we can pocket the money.
>>319691297
>make kickstarter
>get funded
>delay it indefinitely
if only people cared enough about their money to hunt these faggots down
>>319691508
Not like us, anon :^)
>>319691918
What if you pledged 1 dollars?
Or you can just do your fucking research and only back ones that have some degree of competence behind them
>>319692131
But this had competence behind it
>>319693057
No It had noname devs hiding behind big names. Anyone that actually looked up the dev team realised that and walked away.
>>319691297
>kickstarted castle story as my first crowdfunding venture
and that's the story of how i never kickstarted anything ever again
>>319693217
But the director of the project worked on Valyria Chronicles
>>319693057
>from the people who once toured through Konami's offices while they were working on Metal Gear Solid 3
>and the people who brought lunch to the people who brought you Final Fantasy
>wow they names like 2 series people like i should back this gosh wow

The project legitimately had talent on it

Turns out you can't even trust vets of gaming.
>>319693647
Who was actually in charge? It's hard to believe all that talent is just twiddling their thumbs and are working some incompetent jackass.
>>319693330
Unless he was the director or producer of Valkyria Chronicles that doesn't mean much.
>>319693647
>Turns out you can't even trust vets of gaming.
They thought they could succeed on their own but turns out that even the most talented need leaders and bosses to tell them what to do.
>>319691297
>/v/ acts like delays never happens to AAA products and it's only bad when kickstarter projects do it
new and original

Project Phoenix's kickstarter began in 2013
>>319691297
the ONLY kickstarter I care about is Obduction, and that's only because the prospect of more Cyan games overrides my common sense
Spend your money on games, not concepts. Be a savvy customer.
>mfw backed with investor level (1k) rewards
Who do I sue
>>319695968
>Spent a thousand dollars on kickstarter
>>319695968
>mfw I've never backed a game
>mfw I've never pre-ordered
>mfw I've never even bought a game
>mfw I just pirate everything
>>319696258
and what if everyone was like you?
Have they stated why?
This regular abuse of trust is why the micro-investment/donation platform will never be viable again.
>>319696474
Don't argue with parasite logic.
>>319696258
Basically me, except I bought a Wii U, just play smash brosoccasionally with my bros, kind of regret it.
>>319696185
>>319696082
No really guys.
>mfw they had no programmer for over 2 years
>>319695467
>2013
Holy shit, it's been that long?

Wanna TL;DR me?

Nip was greedy fuck, moral of the story: anime sux
>>319697158
Time flies when you contemplate suicide.
>>319697230
Same guy behind the Project Phoenix kickstarter makes convinces the creators of Under the Dog to reject offers for a 26 episode series and put the project on KS to prove that anime can be made without the influence of producers.
Once it gets funded, the writer holds the project hostage until Yura is kicked out and he can look for a real producer.
I'm so sick of the literalwho kickstarters being advertised on /v/.
Hell, I'm sick of kickstarter period full stop.
>>319691457
Is this game any good? I want to get thePS4 version
I backed 2 projects in total
One of them delivered what I asked, Wasteland 2
The other got fully funded and is expected to be released relatively soon, Battletech
The fuck are they gonna continue developing for another 3 years with that small sum of money?
Hacks like Tim Schäfer run out of 3 million for a fucking adventure game where half the game is recycled anyway.
>>319696258
>Backed Shovel Knight
>No regrets
Worth every shekel. I hope you enjoyed it too, scurvyfriend.

Larian are the only, and I mean the ONLY company I have seen that really deserve any crowdfunding they put out there.
Divinity OS was funded and it was amazingly delivered. Through the money they got from DOS 1 they funded DOS 2. They then opened up a kickstarter not for the game, but only for extras to add onto it to make it better.
And THEN for free they completely made an enhanced edition of Original Sin with full voice acting that they gave out for free to anyone who owned the first one.
Divinity Original Sin 2 is the only kickstarter I have ever backed. I payed for two copies of the game for my buddy and I, the same one who bought us the two copies of the first game.
>>319699006
DoS, Wasteland 2 and Skullgirls were funded and delivered great. I have high expectations for DoS2 and Indivisible.
>>319691297
Project Phoenix will still be done before Starbound anyway.
>>319696970
>No programmer
>People still gave them money
Literally Idea Guy company

>tfw they sent me an email when their Kirill Povrovsky died
I atill listen to Divine Divinity ost. Road Shaded by Green Leaves is comfortable as fuck.
>>319699006
>Divinity OS was funded and it was amazingly delivered.
If you're a Windows user maybe. Linux users who backed the game after the promise of support are still waiting to even play the game. Console gamers, who weren't even included in the funding already have it, yet for Linux all they've done is delay after delay.
>>319695379
AAA games aren't crowdfunded by potential buyers before the game is even out (yet.)
When an AAA game is delayed it's no skin off anyone's nose but the people making the game.
>>319702167
People who use linux don't play games.
>>319691297
>When will game devs stop requiring funding?
Probably never?
>>319691297
Because goy are creatures with intelligence less than cattle.
>>319702414
I can assure you that we do. That's why there are so many projects centered around getting games to run.
So they're planning 3 years of development without any additional funding to pay people's salaries?
Yeah right. They've "delayed" it until 2018 in hopes no one will remember it existed by then.
>>319702784
Let me rephrase: People who want to play games don't use linux.
I'd never kickstart any game.
BUT, if you have, and you regret it (naturally you do, because it's fucking stupid), then there is a solution.
Dispute your payment/issue a chargeback. You'll have your money returned, and the devs will be hit with a charge too. Chargebacks/disputes is the way to end kickstarter.
>planned release by mid 2015
>end of 2015 and have heard nothing
>suddenly "oh sorry lol xD we don't even have our lead programmer sorted yet! also we are working on other things xD, oh and no refund xD"
God help anyone who backed this morons based off a bunch of shitty art with no gameplay.
>>319695467
>Kickstrated back in 2013
>look it up to make sure
>it's real
Well fuck. I'm so sorry bros. Never heard about this game in tell. No fan deserves this.
>>319691297
it's almost like games get delayed all the time, and kickstarter projects are just more open about it out of necessity.
>pledged 26$
Hurts, but could be a lot worse. What do you people prefer? To NOT get the game or get shit like Mighty 9?
