Because in the modern era, most larger studios have trouble surviving without a massive publisher to help pay the bills (which in turn sacrifices their autonomy).

So you're basically left with the question, is it better for them to have constant funding issues and maybe have to Kickstart the occasional game, or to give up their soul and have most of their games turn into microtransaction-riddled grindfests? Because that seems to be the choice most developers ultimately have to face these days.

i think his question is more "why are they always so broke even though the game is funded by someone else"

I just wanna know why a Wonderful 101 remaster needs a Kickstarter.

Nintendo doesn't own it one of the Kickstarter goals was for PS4 and pc but no Xbox cuz fuck making money

But apparently Nintendo doesn't own it, that's why. I was wondering why they couldn't even make games they didn't own the rights to. That they were just hired to make. But I guess that's not happening.

I didn't know Rick Santorum was on game faqs!

If they don't want their games to be treated like fanservice games, they shouldn't make fanservice games. It robs other products of similar fanservitude of their right to be called fanservice.
