Not looking to convince anyone, but my experience with Kickstarter has been mostly positive. I didn't back Mighty No 9, but I did back the Ouya (lol) so it hasn't been all positive, but for the small sample size of projects I've backed, there's been more hits than misses.

I'd say the biggest issues facing potential backers is the unknown - you're essentially gambling on the promise of a product you haven't seen fully realized, and the wait. There's been projects I've backed that have released within a couple years, and there's projects I backed 5 or 6 years ago that still haven't released (to be fair, I believe those projects have early access betas and alphas but I never touch those. Prefer to wait on the finished product).

Yeah, there's been plenty of video game KS success stories, but also some big fails.

Thus far I've been pretty cautious and done well.
Backed Bloodstained (success) and Subverse (still in progress...but it was only $13 to get the game, so it's not a big investment if it does fail). Also Order of the Stick comics reprint drive...that was an easy one...just reprinting existing comics and getting a copy as the reward.

This one seems like the team knows what they're doing. There's a lack of info on the actual programming expertise and only like a half minute of actual gameplay footage so far though, so it is a bit shakier than some other stuff I've seen.

They put a sex scene in TLOU2

Sony are hypocrites, but they are still a better option than microsoft who we can thank for paying twice for net play, personally i'll buy a ps5 after the price drops and when it's on sale on black friday or something

Yeah, I wish Xbox was an alterntive option, but it's really not. My future is apparently Nintendo and PC gaming, unless Sony does a complete 180, which I don't expect they will. ...I've never been much of a PC gamer, and don't intend to get a desktop computer, I like my laptop... Gonna be weird next gen...
