They silently uploaded it to their YouTube channel, where it went unnoticed until one of our users brought it to our attention today.
It's a pretty good talk, which serves as a sort of extended recap of all the things Brian has said over the past year or so. He reminisces about his early career (3:40-16:07), retells the stories of his successful Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera Kickstarter campaigns (16:07-29:17), and offers his personal observations and advice about Kickstarter (29:17-41:47). This is followed by a long Q&A session (41:47-1:16:50).
To me, the most interesting part of the talk is the first one, and also the first question in the Q&A segment, where Brian talks a bit about how Interplay grew out of control in the 90s. His Kickstarter advice is pretty solid, too.
