I chose to back the upcoming MMO Crowfall on Kickstarter a couple of months ago, which is supposed to come with Beta access and a “free” copy of the game. ![]() My personal experiences with Early Access games are many, while my experience with Kickstarter is still on-going. Sometimes small teams will finish these games up, or they will just release in a broken state, sad and disappointing. However, there have been projects like Godus and many others that were funded and then the developers go missing and/or stop updating the game. Kickstarter is seemingly a safer choice because if the project isn’t funded, you never get charged. Devs can sometimes go MIA after cashing your paycheck Some ideas will never come to fruition, even with successful funding Some developers tug at nostalgia strings to get your money Just because you backed doesn’t mean the project will be successfully funded Provide feedback that can help shape the project Gain backer rewards that can be worth much more than the asking price Support indie developers who can’t get big time funding Support developers making projects AAA studios won’t There are pros and cons to each program, and here are a few off the top of my head: Probably the most memorable Early Access debacle for me was the $150 Landmark Alpha, but there are many more examples to choose from.
