Oh yeah, Kickstarter wont really do much to big developers, most people would rather work for the big boys than do things on their own regardless of whether they get their "vision" or not. It will work for the people starting up though. The people who really don't mind giving the game away for free because they're used to just getting paid for their time anyway. It can pay the bills though and you can make a game. I'm talking the people who are asking for under 200K. People will probably be quite willing to toss out $10-20 a month or so to kickstarter and maybe 1 or 2 big investments a year. Having over 3 projects at once asking for over 200K will kill it though. Hopefully, the developers will take notice and try to space it out a bit. Anyway, you aren't going to start getting A list titles there any time soon.
