[QUOTE="Bowflex, post: 6011, member: 24"] There is good and bad with this. I would hate to see it happen with every table that is expensive. Plus there has to be some kind of communication. What is the total cost. How much of that cost could be covered by the purchases and how much would need subsidy. If you are going to have it subsidized are you still going to attempt to be making a profit on it? I don't see it being fair to put extra money out and then the company pockets huge amounts of $$$. I think the first step is to just figure out a price of the table and get pre-commitments. I believe a better alternative is to pre-sell a game code at a set amount. Once a goal is reached, the table goes into production. By the time it is released, pre-sales should hopefully cover expenses and you don't have various individuals donating various amounts. If pre-sales are not reached by a target date, eveyone gets a refund. That seems better to me as everyone would pay the same share and it keeps the price of the table consistent post release so anyone interested in it could buy it at the same price. I'm guessing $10 would be good for that single table. Between the popularity and multiple platform purchases, I have no doubt that it would reap a huge amount of dough. [/QUOTE]
