Double Fine Adventure

I've played Psychonauts, Brutal Legend and Costume Quest.

Didn't enjoy Brutal Legend at all, even Jack Black couldn't save it.

How does this work? Are those submitting money investors, or are they really donations? If these are donations to create a private enterprise, Kickstarter is basically a place for fools to part with their money.

How so?

In this case, its essentially pre-ordering a game and using the money to fund development of said title.

Yeah, as BaB said, you don't donate unless you are satisfied with the "reward" that you get, as described in the right sidebar of the project's page. In this case, $15 gets you the completed game and so on...

And for example, if the project had not been funded, your credit card doesn't get charged and no one gets any money.

Also, Amazon is affiliated with Kickstarter and they take a certain percentage of the total fund. They'll do pretty well with this one.

So youre pretty much saying donating to charities and stuff is for fools?

Cause I totes agree, just a waste of money, but this is donating to create something beautiful.

It's a donation, but you get a reward based on how much you donate.

In this case, you get the game.
