I thought crowed funding was for small company's with no money to get a leg up/have freedom from the big guy's?As much as I like some of SE's games I don't think I can get down with this. Hey SE just make great games with your own money again like you did with Bravely Default and I I will buy them also.Man these company's are greedy as hell they want a piece of everything. No wait they want everything.The game developers for once have some freedom and supporting this $hit is going to quickly put an end to that.

someone didn't read the article.
This isn't about SE team making new games with people's money. This is a service which independent developers pitch in their game idea, which people then has 28 days to vote whether or not it's plausible. Then if it's accepted the developers will get SE backing plus getting their game crowdfunded in-cooperation with Indiegogo's crowdfunding platform.

From what I understand this is good for developers. They get funding from SE and get great promotion from having their name attached to SE. SE will continue to keep making games like Bravely Default, so all this means is more games. These indie games should be pretty good quality as it seems they only approve the most promising projects.

I have read the story, it is interesting, because the indie game developers get SE's support if their projects are confirmed by gamers.

It would be nice if they had the lottery in other parts of the world as well.

I’m hoping Xbox Showcase will be where the Remake gets announced… freaking all this stuff with FF9’s anniversary and still nothing on the Remake…

Why do we think this is coming out on Switch 2 before Xbox? Any thoughts? The S2 is not more powerful than the Series S so it’s not a ‘lack of power’ issue. Perhaps the sales forecast is higher on S2 than Xbox so that’s maybe where their priority lies?

It’s definitely a sales issue. If Xbox didn’t have players used to GamePass I bet it would be there already.

The fact people will buy it. Xbox gamers generally have minimal interest in this series. Portable Final Fantasy will go down a storm in Japan where the switch sells huge numbers

Hamaguchi states not just the remake but the entire FF7 remake series.

The Switch 2 version is really beautiful. It looked as good as the PS5 version.
