This is my favorite kickstarter game. Not because I want to play it, but because it's obvious already how hilariously it's all going to unfold. Too bad these guys are going to damage the crowdfunding idea so badly, but I'm hoping guys like inXile can make up for it.

I didn't, actually. In before you tell me to shut up, yeah I know.
I care because it's interesting. I get irritated because it's such a flagrant example of irresponsible artists showing why no publisher trusts them, and doing it with a smirk on their face. It's fucking up kickstarter for everyone because Schafer is pulling the same shit with backers that he did with publishers.
dunno lah

And there are people sympathizing with him???

$1 million is probably easier than 3 actually, since they know from the start to plan for an incredibly bare bones game with only essential features.
Of course it's harder to make a good game with 1/3 of the money, but if your main goal is to finish something and push it out the door, that's no problem.

Pointing and laughing.
Who says a good game needs more than only essential features? Look at the budgets, teams and gameplay some of the best classics had.
They had often the advantage of actually coming up with these so called "essential" features, so it felt fresh.

I wonder how many people will say "I'm sorry" when the game comes out in January and blows everyone's minds.
What's the connection? People are complaining mainly about shitty budgeting on DF's part and the way they handled it might indicate to a consumer/backer/supporter/fan/whatever that the studio doesn't really give a fuck and is perfectly content to just continue reaching for more money - doesn't look pretty, and as a result DF run into the risk of rendering all of those "thanks for making this possible, we'll use the funds well" slogans utterly meaningless. Which, understandably, pisses people off. As far as I'm concerned that says nothing about DF's ability to make a decent game (though their track record seems, well, less than impressive to me).
If it does blow everyone's mind, it'll be despite the fact that Schafer and co somehow managed to fuck things up to the point where they literally have to beg for money about halfway into development. I mean, I like all that artistic hippie stuff about arranging balls as they fall down in order to create something special or however it was Schafer phrased it in the documentary, but you need someone to manage the goddamn thing from a financial standpoint in a fairly competent way or there will be no balls to arrange. This is not rocket science, this is basically 'making anything 101'.
Having written all of that, I'm still willing to side with DF. They fucked up, but I can understand the reasons, even if I think they don't excuse them. Plus, the Grim Fandango credit hasn't run out yet - at least in my case.

Don't see why it would go on hold unless they start laying off staff.
