Besides swinging wide of the mark on the funding issue, the thing that pisses me off about this and other peoples stories in the media is that, in their cyncial commentary about Kickstarter, they make it sound like we're just outright donating, giving our money away, paying for the big corporation to make the game and that we're all just suckers.
But dont they mention we actually get rewarded for doing so, with early access and other cool physical things in ways that you couldn't get with just pre-order bonuses, in the form of PLEDGE REWARDS. Also, we get a heads up on the game as its being made, instead of waiting for a trailer and speculating for months and overanlysising 30 seconds of footage. This is way more exciting.
This video is probably the worst example of this misrepresentation as an excuse to rag on something. Yes, some of us Dojoers probably would donate for nothing in return, but that is not what kickstarter is.
