Next Car Game's Early Access smashes failed Kickstarter goal

[Protocol7]

I'm not sure how I ultimately feel about this. While it's great that they got their funding, doesn't that set a bad precedent for Early Access games? As in, what if you pay now and get game now, but then 6 months down the line, the game doesn't get enough funding, the dev closes shop and you don't get a finished product?

I have a feeling we will see a story like this in the coming years. (Yes, technically Minecraft, but they also weren't trying to get crowdsourced initially either.)

Well, hopefully they know how to budget and plan ahead. But since Bugbear has had their hands in games for awhile, I would believe they know what they will need to get to whatever goal they plan.
