Such a weird observation to make in a sub-forum about Japanese games.Weaboo detected.
They got screwed over by both Capcom and Sega (apparently, Bayonetta 2 was cancelled at one point and only continued development because Nintendo shouldered the costs), so it's not hard to see why they'd seek independence."Console game development budgets are really big," he said, "so we need publishing partners to create those games. I was thinking — with our own money — about creating a PC title for Steam. It would give us the possibility to become a publisher, which is very attractive to me."
"If you think about the console market in Japan, and compare it to the world, it's not that big," Inaba said. "So I view the PC as an area with huge potential. It would be great if we could do a Kickstarter and gather enough money for a game to be released on Steam."
They think of using Kickstarter and self-publishing: http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/9/24/3383184/platinum-games-on-pc-steam-kickstarter-tgs

Sounds... interesting.
The only problem I see is that the crowdfunding craze can't last forever; people don't have infinite moneys, after all.
Oh, I'm sure that Sega can make a fantastic Sonic sequel with that income.Bayonetta sold 2 million copies. If they can't make a sequel with that income the studio heads and project leaders should be fired for gross mismanagement.
It's not a fad, it's a new business model and it's staying. It may loss momentum at some points but it won't go away.The only problem I see is that the crowdfunding craze can't last forever; people don't have infinite moneys, after all.
