So does this mean people will finally stop being idiots about kickstarters? Between this, anita, and all the other kickstaters I'm not aware of that I'm sure failed to deliver the promised product, I'd hope people would finally realize they shouldn't give money on nothing but good faith to people they don't even fucking know.

Who am I kidding, I bet if yogscast set up a new kickstarter today it'd get just as much funding. People are morons

What I've never understood is... why in hell back Kickstarters when the fucking Stockmarket exists?

What is the point of investing money into Kickstarter, when you could be buying ownership of their fucking company and getting money back for doing it?

>>253989286
Yogscast said that winterkewl where long time veterans and a skilled team of devs

Yogscast made the home site for the game their own website and gave it their full backing.

When shit hit thefan Yogscast distanced themselves from winterkewl and now +$500,000 dollars are gone.

I'm sad. This kickstarter looked great, and now it's cancelled. I'm glad Yogscast decided to give people another game even though they weren't obligated to. It shows how awesome these guys are despite the situation they're in.

bigger scam than anita, where is the rage?

misogyny reigns again on /v/

I find it hilarious that the lead dev's wife divorced him because he was spending so much time on the game and he didn't even manage to follow through and finish it.

The red flag should've been the fact that the yogscast were ever raising money in the first place. How big is their company? They're filthy stinking rich and I seriously doubt they couldn't have funded it themselves.

But, you know, if they were to do that they couldn't just make a quick buck off suckers.

The problem was that he/she made it seem like a crowd fund for a surgery to save his/her life. There was no life in danger. This person just wanted a sex change and didn't want to pay for it.

I bet /v/ bought into this shit.

I remember when /v/ was on Notch's nutsack 24/7. I also remember when they paid for some alpha minecraft clone that ceased development shortly afterwards.

This place is shit.

Thats insane someone put 10k on this fucking thing. They had to be friends with the devs or something to be doing some shit like that.

>>253993623

>>253993387
PRobably because it wouldn't be fair to the first people and would likely cause bigger problems for them in the long run. I mean strictly speaking, lets say they did make another kickstarter with a different dev team. Even if they got it funded, they're probably under obligation to still give the first kickstarter people a game as well. Which would mean that they're almost garenteed to not get much of a profit in the long run.

Its just easier to cut your losses.

>>253989490

Kickstarter is great if you actually do research as a consumer and treat it like an investment rather than a then-and-there purchase. Typically, I don't back something unless I've actually had hands on experience with it (Shovel Knight, some of the tabletop games I've kicked) or a situation where I either trust the established dev or the failure to deliver what was promised would drive the company into the ground (Shantae and Wayforward, MN9 and Comcept, Cosmic Space Heroine and Zeboyd).

Fuck, a tabletop game I backed like three months is actually shipping four months AHEAD of schedule, I've never heard of that happening before.

How? did they imply they'd kill themselves if they didn't get it, or what? My impression is just that "Tumblr SJWs" (and centre-y non SJWs sympathetic to transgenders, but tumblr would "give mass" to the thing) found the page and gave them money.

I mean if they were just dramatic as all without saying they'd literally die, there's no real issue with that to me. Maybe it just was a serious issue for them. I'll check if the page is still up and amend this post after watching the video.

>This person just wanted a sex change and didn't want to pay for it.
I'm presuming they couldn't afford it. (Which while for many things would be "tough, can't afford, can't have", but with a sex-change I'd put it a bit above wanting-but-being-unable-to-afford a car, but I don't want to de-rail this into a discussion about sex-changes.)

Mainly though, I've no issue with using crowdfunding as a begging system - it's purely optional for people to throw money at it. Crowdfund a Coffee for all I care.

I mean it's redundant since if they did that, they wouldn't kickstart it, they'd just put their own cash on the line.

It seems I was thinking of another person, but this one certainly did try to scam others.

>>253991990
>Five backers put in over $10,000 of their own money - and now they're getting a Steam key

Holy fucking shit. I'm dying of laughter over here.

>>253994802
Unless you're swimming in money to the point that you never need to work again, dumping crap tons of money into something and not get anything back is moronic.

Making a game isn't cheap and they're not so stupidly rich when you consider that they can't keep all of the money they make since a lot of it goes to expenses too.

I'm telling you what Browning Hi-Powers are chambered for. I don't know what caliber that necked cartridge it's ejecting is.

>>253995560
Oh. That's bad. That's obviously wrong.

Why wasn't she just honest? There are a reasonable number of people who would probably gladly donate. (as the other crowdfunded thing shows)

>>253991772
Aren't MtF "vaginas" monstruosities that need skin grafts constantly or they rot?

>>253994583

> Trying to work full-time and code the game

Ummm, shouldn't the kickstarter cover staff wages?

I am pretty sure he met them before making such life altering business with them.

>>253995970
I think it varies in quality from "you couldn't tell it from the real thing" to "so where did the Japanese soldier bayonet you?"

requesting that pic of the retards who thought they sank the titanic so they start yelling "sink" at every boat, because kickstarter has had far more successes than failures

>>253995970

Nah, technology has come a long way since that.

They even use tissue from your anal lining in there so it can self-lubricate.

After looking at it more, I'm pretty sure it's a 9mm necked down to a .22.

I think the first shot of the gun is inverted, the pointer finger is still below the ejection port.

>>253991772
it's god damn amazing how you fags manage to turn every damn discussion into lgbt/feminism whining

seriously, go start a fucking blog already. everyone will be better off, including you

>>253996246
are we talking about a genuine, bona-fide boi pussy?

>>253992715
Or people will simply learn to not be dumbasses and not pay for games that aren't made yet, then again that may as well be a pipe dream.

>>253996190

Kinda, you just can't get pregnant, the lubrication doesn't work the same way as in a female, there's no blood every month, more cleaning issues, also, there's a 70% chance or so that you'll never be able to reach orgasm again.

>>253993623
>ejection port on left side at start of video
>on the right in every other shot
Well lots of movies flip shots horizontally because the director or editor thinks they look or flow better. There are so many shots in the Lord of the Rings movies that are mirrored keep some kind of left/right continuity but you can see it's almost half the time the elvish brooches on the hobbit cloaks are flipped.

>>253995560
And then the journalist who uncovered the truth got fired and blacklisted

Cuntstarter, ladies and gentlemen.

>>253996329
well yeah, communities like /pol/ and stormfront share a lot of similarities with other sociopolitical communities like tumblr. and some subreddits and generally reddit

They have a lot more in common than they'd like to let on.

>>253992715

If they're not protecting investors putting millions of dollars into projects why are they going to protect your $10 investment into a Yogscast video game.

Investors take risks, that's all there is to it, you're an investor that gets no equity.

>>253996598

If you lost money on this, you don't deserve to have money.

>>253996494
the two things actually don't have to correlate to each other at all.

>>253996740
They're not even investors, just donators really.

I've got no legal knowledge of how this stuff works but I'm curious as to what would happen if a bunch of donators took them to court over this...

>>253996928
you dont lose money you fucking idiot
its a donation service
there is no obligation to provide an end product

Hope this nutjob kills itself.

You clearly haven't been spending enough time on /k/ if you can't tell they're 9mm blanks.

>>253995560

Oh god I remember that. Didn't the SJWs crucify the journalist and try to claim that it was perfectly fine for Chloe to lie to everyone?

>>253987642
What did they apologize for? Did they say something like "This is the worst thing we've ever seen," and then realized they were wrong after seeing PDP?

>>253998067
Yeah.

They called Doug's video "the 9/11 of lets-plays" and stopped just short of comparing it to the holocaust.

What's funny about the apology is that in Dougs video, they spend a lot of time apologizing to people they did before since they're nowhere near as atrocious as Doug.

This whole thread hurts my face.

I'm glad Larian isn't filled with a bunch of scumbags, Divinity: OS is great.

>>253997031
>you fucking idiot
So mad. People go into that shit expecting a product. Kikestarter masquerades as a microinvesting site. That's why they call them backers and not donators.

>>253997613
That's correct. Allistair Pinsof was the name of the journalist who exposed the scam and got a lot of shit for doing so.

>>253996804
Correct, but the image was directed at people who would go into every thread about upcoming games and just spam about how the game will be shit and fail regardless if there was actually any writing on the wall or not.

This is why you dont use kickstarter.

I funded the first dvd set and I just funded season 2. On top of that James used indiegogo for AVGN:movie and its done. Say what you will about it, but he did it.

>>253992856
The movie is Killing Them Softly

>>253996003
Kickstarter went to yog pockets

>>253984352
Jesus that video is even worse than TGWTG

Also that Q&A is pretty pathetic. The fact that someone needs to surround themselves by socially inept dweebs to feel normal is sad

>>253998240
>>253998067

The weird thing is I think that Doug's LP was suppose to be a parody of LPs itself? Or at least intentionally god awful. At least that was what I thought?

>>253998891
I don't get this mentality. It bugs me that OP's article starts and ends with "I don't like Kickstarter", as if it's Kickstarter's fault that the yogshitters jewed other people out of their money. The fact that the yog shitters are a bunch of lazy, deceitful cunts has nothing to do with the thousands of other individuals trying to get their own projects funded.

Be smart about it and don't give your money to people whose "job" is to make shitty Youtube videos. If you gave money to a project that went belly up, you've only got yourself to blame.

>>253999581
but they did it for money, not for social reasons

>>253990624
We only talk about it all the time right now.
Whats your malfunction?

>>253999742
I dunno. I think he just didn't understand how LPs work.

I don't hate Doug or anything. I like the older nostalgia critic videos, but he's not very competent.

>>253997089
They aren't pay his unemployment and no one will hire him. His letter of recommendation is garbage because he outed himself after his boss threw a fit about it.

fuck destructoid

>>253993493
I think he's pretty good, one of the few people from TGWTG I find tolerable. Sometimes I watch MikeJTV, Suede, that one guy with the curly hair that reviews manga, and occasionally Phelous. I'm debating whether I should start watching Lindsay again, loved her work when she was no longer obligated to act like a female version of NC.

How shitty are my tastes?

>>253989490
wait until Mighty Jew 9 goes out and then people will understand the real nature of Kikestarter

>>253999752

What about potato salad? have you seen all the shitty kickstarters that popped up after idiots funded that? I entirely blame kicstarter because they don't filter anything out of the thousands of kickstarters that were funded how man have had success?

I'm not saying indiegogo is the best thing ever, but you dont see many scams stories from them.
