Starcraft Universe Kickstarter Awareness

[Deleted]

I want to pay for games that come with their own original IP, not for something that's just rehashed material from a set of other games.

Oh and look, you don't have to pay either. The makers of the big/good mods usually have a way for you to donate to them if you want to. If people feel like rewarding them for the work they put in, that's their business.

Yeah and kickstarter shouldn't be the place. But it seems my request for sane thinking is directed to the deaf. If people keep lowering their standards, if people keep lowering the bars on their wallets for less and less, producers and developers will keep giving us less and less for the same money.

It's the trend that worries me, no this speciifc example.

The whole statement you'remaking is silly. There's a whole table row on the right side of the screen telling you that if you invest, you get ABCD and if you invest more, you get ABCDEFG. Don't tell me you're donating because you think something is going to fail and every single human being in the universe would be upset if he didn't get what was promised to him. Especially todays consumers.

I'm not sure who you're trying to fool, but my guess would be; yourself.

Of course a customer would be upset if they didn't get the product they were promised upon purchase. That's why you don't look at kickstarters as products or the rewards as promises, because every single one of them has the potential of failing (even if they've met the financial goal) and you have to go in knowing that.

The only one fooling themselves is anyone kickstarting a project and then treating it as a product. :/

If people want to kickstart this then sure, why not, why do people care so damn much about what others are doing? Just do not kickstart it. Mods like this are so big that they can nearly be considered games in themselves. If people choose to spend their money on this then who am I to say it is wrong, they know the mod will be free and they want to make sure it is made so they help fund it

Black Mesa is big. Never went on kickstarter. They just had a donation button on their website. That's how things should be done with Mods. How big the mod is is not excuse. It's still a mod.

Yes and I never said there was a problem with kickstarting a mob. What's the big deal? It is like an official donating button that gets more publicity? What is the problem with people using a crowd funding website in order to crowd fund?

pathetic really.. "Guys, I spend my free time making a mod. Cash nao pl0x?"

I fully agree with Cespian on this..

They only need 80k lol.

This should really be posted on the front-page.

Basically it's a Starcraft MMO using the Starcraft engine but not requiring the Starcraft game.

It's way more than just a mod. Please read the description.

I did and here is what I found on the kickstarter page for it
StarCraft Universe (SCU) is a game mod (Note: it is not a standalone game) for StarCraft II. Originally named World of StarCraft, SCU focuses on telling an epic story and intense combat action, as well as multi-player raiding experiences. StarCraft Universe will be released as a series of custom games published through Battle.net.

Black Mesa also took a decade to make.
