Double Fine Kickstarter
Double fine Kickstarter went really good, and its an example of what the future can reserve to us. It tottaly inverted the business logic, you buy before the product is even made, you have a margin reward, mainly, the game is made and you have the pleasure to have it.
Of course, the historical 3M is only at the reach of industry superstars like Tim Schafner, but its all the power to the people. Tim Schaffer wanted the freedom to make a game with no publishers censorship or creative restrains, and there he goes, i’m frothing to see the light of this game.
I believe independency for the studios is the way of the future, at least, i believe its the way of the progress.
