You fund BY buying the game. Check out again how Schafer's project worked.Magichead said:AND THEN BUYING COPIES
EA and Activision are publishers. I don't think anyone would give them a single penny. If they want a game made, they can fund it, that's their job.Quellist said:I now have this horrible vision of EA and Activision getting on the kickstarter bandwagon, then when they've milked the fans for all they can get, cancelling production citing 'insufficent funds'
Wow, calm down....it was just a joke, i'd throw down for a Planscape 2 or anything remotely related, i just couldnt miss the chance to bash the two worst publishers out there. I mean admit it, they'd do it if they thought they could get away with itCarnagath said:EA and Activision are publishers. I don't think anyone would give them a single penny.

As for the "Kickstarter bandwagon", personally there are only a handful of developers that I'd be willing to prefund. Only well known and proven ones, no chucklefucks like Notch who delivered a completely broken product and had the nerve to call it 1.0. Schafer and Gilbert, absolutely. Avellone, yes, if he promises to deliver without compromises to the writing. Molyneux as well, if he decides to ask for support to buy the Dungeon Keeper rights from EA and make a third installment that is faithful to the first two. I also want a new MOTHERFUCKING CRUSADER game, it needs to be made, and I would fund it. Mainly those, and a couple of others. Not much of a bandwagon, at least for me.
They may never have gotten that far. People forget that Torment was a flop, only sold about 300,000 copies at first release.Davroth said:I remember that the strategy guide mentioned a sequel for Planescape Torment. I wonder if they have design documents or an pitch for that lying around.
