Comment In: Did DoubleFine Just break the publishing model for good? [Blog - 02/09/2012 - 06:41]

Jeremy, Probably not. People are ...

Jeremy, Probably not. People are not really willing to fund a game when they know that someone else is going to make a similar game without the crowd fund. Very few successful Kickstarter games are FPS games. With Kickstarter, people want to fund unique games. Games that they would not ...

Comment In: Double Fine launches $400K Kickstarter for Schafer-led adventure game [News - 02/08/2012 - 09:26]

Comment In: Opinion: I feel used [News - 02/06/2012 - 07:59]

Elliot Joe, I have not bought an AAA game in over 5 years. I am very happy living off the wonderful world of Indie games. Shoot the Humble Indie Bundles have given me more games in the last year than I have been able to play. Why do I need ...
