Did you expect more out of this AMA? I just saw this and was floored that there were only 114 comments! Some guy has two dicks and its like on the front page for ever, but one of the most followed authors of our time can get half of what a standard cat pic gets. Good work.

Well that sucks, I was happier thinking I was going all tin foil hat in my old age. I KNOW they have to make money, but after a few times getting burned (the most recent being Starforge and Godus) I am more or less done with that whole racket. BUT, on the bright side, I did start playing Unturned recently, made by a 17 year old kid, and if he is the future, I have hope. Updates almost everyday, and really seems to be in it for the joy.

p.s. Thanks for the response btw. :)

So I have this theory that most games these days are doing the early release, kickstarter, beta thing, just to get funded enough to make platform versions. Sort of like using PC players to test out and fund their game until the platforms decide they want it. Am I nuts?

I am a web designer / UI/UX guy, and I know alot of start ups out there these days just shoot to build a company through venture, and then the goal is to be bought out by a larger company like google or apple et al. Just seems logical that this mentality would be in gaming.
