MrMallard 12/19/21 11:12:19 PM #1:	Was the Kickstarter boom in the 2010s worthwhile for the good games it produced, or more harm than good for the mountains of crap and scams that come out of it? Beneficial - even if the boom has a lot of garbage, the good games like Bloodstained and A Hat In Time are 100% worth it. I can't imagine a gaming landscape without them Harmful - con artists took advantage of a lot of people, game devs lived and died on half-finished prototypes, and ultimately there was an overall negative effect that the good stuff can't balance out jeez give me a chance to speak for myself, stop putting words in my mouth asshole Was the Kickstarter boom in the 2010s worthwhile for the good games it produced, or more harm than good for the mountains of crap and scams that come out of it? - Results (16 votes) Beneficial - even if the boom has a lot of garbage, the good games like Bloodstained and A Hat In Time are 100% worth it.

Azarias 12/19/21 11:15:48 PM #3:	I think it was good overall -- sure there were scammers and finished games that delivered less than expected -- but without KS in the picture at all none of those games (from terrific to terrible) would have came into being at all. --- People are prone to dying. <cite>Azarias posted [p:961063451] in In terms o...

MJOLNRVII 12/21/21 3:10:56 PM #4:	Depends on the game because there's lots of garbage out there and scams, but I'd say it was beneficial overall just because of those diamonds in the rough. I liked Bloodstained RotN, Hollow Knight, Shovel Knight, Skullgirls, and probably some others I'm forgetting. I look forward to 9 Years of Shadows and Keylocker. And I just realized this topic says Kickstarter, so does it have to be that or just crowdfunded games in general? Because I was speaking of crowdfunded games. --- https://i.imgtc.ws/WBp3VHL.gif https://i.imgtc.ws/aGc8opg.gif https://i.imgtc.ws/tQBwJ35.gif <cite>MJOLNRVII posted [p:961106878] in In terms o...
