According the the man who made Sacred 3, the change towards dumbed down couch gameplay and outsourced development was primarily due the the marketers of "deep silver" who hold all the power.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/sacred-3-designer-says-marketing-department-of-dee/1100-6421779/

Both the creators of Divinity: Original Sin and Brain Fargo (currently developing Wasteland 2, Pillars Of Eternity and Planescape) have specifically cited this "you must make an action console game" as to part of the reason for moving to kickstarter.

Can we all agree, Kickstarter is vitally important for real gamers and has basically saved the RPG genre?

I would think you guys in System Wars would be able to spot when uc is trolling you.

Hasn't this clown railed against kickstarter since the conception of his uninspiring name?

My friend, practically everyone could predict the difficulties and possible cynical use of the concept of kickstarter. It would be incredibly foolish to simply see it as a wholesale good/bad.

I agree with tc somewhat, it as it's good and bad things. But it brought us some very good games, also scammers but that's the risk.

It's not saving gaming but it is getting us some great games we may have never seen

There have been some problems with kickstarter some dodgy and suspect ones,but personally i have money on over 17 games and so far the 7 that have come in have been great , i have yet to consider one a dud,hopefully the next 10 are equally amazing.

Gamespot is a little late one this. I remember the designer's topic up on the steam community page which was maybe a week or more ago. Yes, it's a clear example of the whole executive issue we have going on in this industry. Slowly but surely, this will change.

Right after that "spiritual successor" to STALKER fiasco.....I don't think so.

It's probably making it worse.

Kickstarters and indie projects are more creative and more nuanced than the mainstream triple A western game. More at 11.

TC is kinda right. Look at Star Citizen. That's a lot of money for crowdfunding lol.

Not really, but it's been great.

That said...this is hack and slash. It's a genre that's extremely popular on PC. You don't need Kickstarter to make great game of this type. Torchlight 2 and Paths of Exile are incredible and didn't use Kickstarter. Heck, you will find plenty of low budget browser games better than Sacred 3.Of course you can also find better stuff on KS, as Grim Dawn is shaping up wonderfully.
