See, I take issue with this, as a Kickstarter backer, with 100% success rate. These games wouldn't have been made without some seed money and backers to show interest, especially awesome old school games like Pillars or Eternity, or board game inspired games (like Warmachine, Shadowrun or currently Battletech). Most of these full games give you so much more for 20 or 30 or 40 dollars than 100 dollars on a table top game could hope to get you. Why invest in one game, when I could enjoy 5 or 10 on the PC or console, and play with people all around the world?Regash wrote:I think, this is rather a sign of the times.Fassbinder75 wrote:GW mentoring Cyanide/Focus is clearly paying dividends.
Why on earth do people spend the night in front of an apple store, just so they can be the first to purchase a new phone for a lot of money, that is very similar or almost identical to the phone they already have in their pockets?
Why are people willing to pay for Games that are sold in slices called DLC?
Look at Kickstarter! People are throwing money at projects, buying products that not even exist yet, ignoring the fact that maybe they never will exist.
Today's potential table top gamers are looking around and seeing a lot more options, but digitally and physically (boardgames have gotten so cool in the last 10 years!), so Blood Bowl is now one of many. And it looks like Granny has had some great success with Vermintide and Mordheim. These are games I want to plan. Blood Bowl on the PC? Not so much, or at least not without offering something different from FUMBBL or the table top.
