Re: Too bad it didn't get funded
11/13/12 02:15 AM


I think alot of the problem is with the gaming press. I've been rabidly supporting kickstarters that look like they're motivated, and a common complaint is that the gaming press has the atttitude that "Kickstarter isn't news" and won't even interview them.

I suspect the gaming press is much more motivated to cater to publishers and their advertising dollars, and all of the swag and perks that go with it, instead of actually doing journalism.

Outside of RPS, the rest of the gaming press won't bother with a article on a kickstarter unless the name on it is a fairly large label

Edit: Btw, rockpapershotgun, every Saturday morning they put up an article on PC oriented kickstarters. As long as someone emails them, and the kickstarter doesn't look like a complete dud, they get a paragraph.
