I INVESTED $4000 IN PSYCHONAUTS 2 AND I'LL BE SWIMMING IN CASH COME 2018
WHY HAVEN'T YOU INVESTED IN IT YET?
Oh you poor, poor bastard.
how many people are falling for that investment shit
does that make them better or worse than star citizens
only 4k? if it doesn't get funded i'm blaming you, cheapskate
>giving money to Mr Shitface
>>320596332
So how do these things work anyways?
Never paid much attention to this kick-starter shit
Psycho. Nauts. 2. 'Nuff said.
>>320596773
>you give Tim Schafer money
>he may or may not waste it on stupid parties with Phil Fish and shit out a half done game
my first kickstarter that i have ever donated was the first time and ironically the last time visiting that site
fuck you Starbound
psycho-fucking-nauts 2
its going to be epic!
>>320596806
Why would you give money to something that doesn't even exist yet based on promises and a nostalgia kick? The guy has already moved the deadline of the Kickstarter back by a week.
>>320596332
Yeah, dude. So rich..
Watch this first

It pretty much explains that investing in anything Fig is a bad idea.
Tim Shaefer being on the fucking board of directors is a red flag by itself.
So how exactly paying 4K gives you any profit except for some retarded collectors edition?
Are you going to get % of profits from sales or what?
>>320597028
It's an investment. Yes you will get a small share.
>>320596773
you pay them to make the game. If they finish it, you'll get the game. Tim Schafer does not finish his games, so you get nothing.
>>320597028
Yes
tim schafer is an incompetent baffoon. Games are made by a CREW of people and the people he works with are not the same as back then.
Similar deal with star wars and George Lucas.
>>320596332
>invest
>kickstarter
I think you should look up the definition of financial investment and also donation.
>>320597028
You get your money back when they made profit
Which means the game needs to sell several hundred thousand highpriced copies. Which is unlikely to happen because Psychonauts only sold +1 million thanks to 1 dollar bundles.
>>320596332
Good goy
As much as I fucking loved psychonauts, 2 will never be nowhere near as good.
The times are different.
Just stuff like the stereotypical housewife agents from the milkman conspiracy will be enough to stir sjws for muhsoggynee.
The whole game will be focusing on exploring the brains of trannies, gays and minorities.
>>320596332
>Psychonauts has to sell almost 700k copies to break even
>took the first game to sell 1 million and so copies 10 years
Sure thing bro.
>Even talking about Kickstarter or Tim Scafer
There are plenty of better ways to make an investment with that money. If you can withdraw do it.
>>320596990
Is this Jim Sterling's twin?
>>320597260
>kickstarter
maybe you should do your research before claiming that OP doesn't know what he's talking about
In b4 you go through the mind of a "gamer" to see all hate, violence and misogyny.
>>320597347
>The whole game will be focusing on exploring the brains of trannies, gays and minorities.
holy shit LOL
>>320597393
>>320597262
>constantly increase the donation goal because people buy into the hype
>get funded because retards
>use small amount of the actual donation for the game
>keep the rest
>don't return anything to anyone because the game "hasn't made any profit" from sales
Fucking brilliant. I can't even blame them.
>>320597442
It's Jim's heterosexual, 150 pounds lighter, non-regressive English twin.
>falling for a legal pump & dump
holy shit, this is why it's important to take economics. IT'S NOT EVEN STOCKS BRO, NOT EVEN STOCKS, YOU'RE FUCKED. there's a legal gray area about this
>You can get money from this!
Oh god
and people are going to fall for this shit too.
>>320596990
>Can only invest if you are a credited investor with 1m$ net worth or has 200K$ yearly salary.
So which one are you OP?
>>320597260
>calling someone out without realizing the difference between fig and kickstarter
I can't possibly imagine getting a return at all from this
Even if i'm being generous the most possible money you could get in return would be almost breaking even.
They'd have to sell SO many copies. Psychonauts isn't that good of a game. Most of the people who have played it bought it as part of a humble bundle for literally nothing. I bet they sold like 50k copies at full "$20" cost, if that.
If you're expecting money from this shit you're LITERALLY retarded. There's also no way that they will even be forced to pay up and give you the money you "deserve" anyway, not until 16 or later.
>>320598354
>Psychonauts isn't that good of a game
Kill yourself.
>2015
>people still giving money to Tim Schafer
I guess some things really do never change.
>>320597545
I like him already
>>320597545
Also can we confirm jim is in fact a faggot? Sources/proof? I thought he was married to some walrus.
>>320598534
its not you gay retard you just played the milkman section and thought haha wow that is so meme funny
>>320596830
Do you think its any different from investing in proper companies?
>>320597401
>wahhh stop talking about video games!
>>320598762
Pretty sure he has said that he's bi and also into polyamory (read: other people fuck his wife)
>>320598847
How fucking disgusting. So he's a cluck. I feel embarrassed to have ever watched his videos.
>>320598838
Stocks are semi-protected. This is nothing.
>>320598838
Other companies wouldn't be stupid enough to hire this shitstain
>>320598847
>(read: other people fuck his wife)
After seeing his wife I can understand why he'd let other people do it so he wouldn't have to.
>>320597537
Don't forget Tim gets to keep 10% of the funding anyway because he owns Fig.
>>320598768
>godzilla fish level
>waterloo level
>velvetopia
>not good
No one is gonna make money off of this but Tim.
>>320598839
>tim schafer
>video games
>giving money and getting nothing out of it
Pick one pham.
>>320596773
In most high profile cases (Double Fine, Shenmue), the kickstarter is just being used to prove to corporate funding bodies that interest for this product exists. By "kickstart-ing" a project, you are not guaranteed the game at a given date but rather the nebulously "you'll get a copy when done and maybe a 'beta' three weeks before" promise.
Pyschonauts 2 is on Fig.com--a new site that has both the "traditional" donate cash option and a shady-ass investiment option where you give up thousands of dollars and will rake in 0.5% of the profit--not the revenue. This is an important sticking point as game developers can take large portions of revenue (raw total of money made from sales) and claim them as expenses. So 0.05% of 20,000 USD is about 100 bucks back from your 2000 dollar "investment"
>>320599474
>meant 0.05% of profit
>0.5% would be reserved for 10,000 USD donors only...maybe.
>>320599128
>getting nothing out of it
Pretty sure he completed all his other crowdfunded games.
>>320599682
The point is that combined, you're supposed to have a great project. You're supposed to put the effort into it. The whole point of breaking limits is to get benefits out of it.
There weren't any with 3.3m. The extra cash was used to line pockets, not make their shit "better"
>expecting any return
>on a game that only sold 100,000 copies and almost bankrupted its publisher
>>320599823
>The extra cash was used to line pockets
No it wasn't
>>320600182
Alright bud, let me know when you come of age and study economics.
