Kickstarter has really become popular among developers, I haven't even heard of most of the games on there, but somehow thousands of people know something I don't.
I don't really like the sudden wave of big games that are populating kickstarter. I keep seeing 500k, 400k, 250k. I don't feel it's what kickstarter was made for, rather for small projects and small teams, not companies.
There was a time where developers made games, and then we gave them money. Now, we give developers money, and then they make the games. What happened?

They're bringing in a fuck ton of new users, who are then in turn funding lots of other projects. It's great stuff.
I love helping out the Indie developers, even though my small donation doesnt amount to a lot
