    Kickstarters became a big idea and process back when Double Fine games decided to ask gamers to chip in on the funds for a game and to help create that game and make it well a real idea. When Double Fines did this, the gaming community burst into shock and amazement. Never once have they been given the choice to decide if they want a game or not to be made. See Kickstarter helps not only to support a game or idea, but it helps present the demand that idea or game has. It's a great ways for developers to either start or continue a project.

    What do you think of Kickstarters? Do you think Kickstarters have been more of a scam than a win? Have you ever donated towards a video game kickstarter?

    I'm kind of neutral to it as it stands right now. I've personally never donated towards Kickstarter.

    They are a win, but, I've never really donated, or had any plans to back in the day, and none now, really.

    Same as above, I've never donated to a Kickstarter before--despite my affinity to read about many of them. I think they're a big win when it comes to presenting realistic demand for developers and idea brewers, in addition to showing the public what may be added to their field of view in the near future. I've never really been worried about my money being part of a scam if I donate (since Kickstarter is really strict on what the money is used for, and they're a trustworthy company to begin with); I've always been unable to donate.

    I've never backed any due to the lack of funds, but they are really awesome and I like to see people do this. I've shared a few kickstarters in the past and if the game looks good, I'm all for helping as much as I can to share it on social media.

    i really like the whole kickstarters thing, a lot of inspireing good ideas people show off and want help in achieving them, alas there the odd ones you don't know they are there and...trolls just want to make money BUT they seem rare in my experience of searching through there. (i hope)

    I think that it is a very good idea indeed! But i certainly think that if the kickstarter doesn't get the goal reached, that the starter would get half of the already gathered money instead of nothing.
