@samiahm, that comment is very well said. Like I said in my comment, I think the writer Jon is saying that people are using some of the success stories from kickstarter to get their easily fundible games funded on the public's dime.
Games that won't happen either way should be able to use this feature but as a journalist and member of the media, it is apparent that behind the scenes EVERYONE wants to use it, that is just sad. #2.1.3
i'll tell you what is hilarious. a pr email that tells you about the great features of an upcoming game, only to scroll down to a link to their kickstarter. it works in some situations but also can be a crap-fest as well.
Ouya? Not a game changer. Tim Schafer? Why the hell does HE need a kickstarter at all? The Stinkyfoot Controller? i paid into that one, it's fresh and unique. Penny Arcade? You have got to be kidding me. #2.1
You do realize that they can still reach millions of people with a Nintendo Direct announcement. What Nintendo is doing is simply avoiding the theatrics and expenses of the Pre-E3 press conference. I went to it last year, the Nintendo Direct that they had following the conference was much more informative that the horse and pony show at the convention center. #6.3
Yes, they are. They used to be at Gaming Irresponsibly but I do a lot less editorial work there. FrontBurnr has been a better outlet for pieces like that.
As I always tell people, she reads the pieces so any feedback helps in having us choose a new game. #1.1
As did I, this site has been a hotbed of good stories though, including this one. I thought it was another rage piece but the writer actually has positive input. #1.1
Honestly, I can go either way on these annual FPS games. Yeah, they are a bit played out but if I can spend a few months having some fun with friends, I guess they can keep doing it.
I think it helps the fresh content stand out better. #1
Agreed. I like how Sony said that DRM is completely up to the dev, not them. I am always on the internet, but I am glad that users won't have to be to enjoy most of their games. #2.1
