Do I get my money back if the developer misses key milestones? Lot of financial risk investing in game development.

So, D3 is essentially a Gauntlet style game from 10-20 years ago?

This type of news raises a number of red flags about the developer. It sounds great to the consumer, but 1. weekly patches aren't a sustainable process and 2. Why didn't the game work properly to begin with. Sounds like either laziness or poor QA.

Of all the silliness with XB1, this news makes perfect sense. Sony did the same thing with PS2 and it worked out incredibly well for them.

... ok. So? At least other tech blogs add some commentary.

You invest in a story. I'll invest in some numbers. Kickstarter can be good for some things. Investing in games ... people deserve to lose their money.

If you've taken an intro finance class or done a Junior Achievement day, watching people invest in games via Kickstarter is mind boggling.

Makes sense. Not sure that it's good though and it seems to be opposite the original strategy from 4 months ago.

Hate PR speak. Like that adds any value to the situation. Resource needs change. Confirm it and move on.

Love The Point!

Ubisoft said the same thing about AC. They couldn't pass up the recurring revenue though.
