[QUOTE="Shinobi100, post: 6699, member: 347"] Here is the surest proof that FarSight should put tables or groups of tables up for bidding on Kickstarter: A game called "Starlight Inception" was put on Kickstarter, NEEDING $150,000 in donations to get the green light. $150k is no small change. Keep in mind that Inception was a space shooter, akin to the old Star Wars arcade games, a genre that is essentially dead, and FAR less prevalent than pinball in today's society. Keep in mind that the game was being made by developers who hadn't done anything meaningful in over a decade. Keep in mind that the game is only coming out for PC and Vita, and Vita has the smallest install base of any current major system. And guess what? Inception reached its goal of $150k on the final day. It actually went $8k over its mark. Now you're telling me that Twilight Zone or Adams Family, the most popular pinball tables of all time, coming to EVERY major system, being made by a HIGHLY respescted developer, couldn't approach donations of 6 figures? The minimum donations could be $5, which I think we'd all agree is acceptable if that means we get to download the game for free. And you'd have to assume there would be some pinball fanatic, Farsight fanboys that would donate $100+. I think as opposed to putting one table on Kickstarter at a time, put a package. For instance, Adams Family + Twilight Zone + Indiana Jones + Jurassic Park. I'm talking the most expensive licenses that have universal fanbases. Make the minimum donation $15 and watch the cash money flow in. $1,000,000 in donations would not be that far out of reach. [/QUOTE]
