What does Holla Forums think about kickstarter and crowd funding in general?
Why do these systems attract so many cranks when it could be used as a way to start cooperatives?
Why do the pojects that get funded have such bumpy development?

I think it is a shitty practice, but a few games I like wouldn't have been made without it.

Hopefully it will make rosy eyed Americans realize that no one gives a shit about their stupid ideas and inventions, and they're never going to make it.

Few things are cringier in this world than American-dream-style entrepreneurship, yes. It's just so intensely phony and cheesy.

Most of these platforms are heavily geared towards attracting funding in return for incentives, i.e. turning potential collaborators into passive consumers.
Meanwhile, these platforms are almost completely unregulated. Anyone can jump through the hoops and collect thousands of dollars for a project they'll never come through with and it's up to the consumers to chase the offending con artist down

I think it shows how the market can't produce certain media, especially niche, on its own. For instance Pillars of Eternity is one of the best RPGs ever, but without kickscammer it would have never been made because publishers are chasing Elder Scrolls.

I like Idubbz' quote on Kickstarter: "they don't have a returns policy, they have a fuck you policy, because fuck you dumbass, you were dumb enough to give us your money"
