Seems some do. Didn't someone jonas buy a lens via kickstarter. I was a backer for teh game elite, as I'd played in back in the early 80s on BBC computer one of teh best games I'd played at the time, graphics were limited but game play was very good for a 32K computer. So they wanted to release eleite bangerous on the PC and needed a million $ or so and amount for a Macs version, I put in £40. The games been out on the mac for and PC for over a year now. A lot of artists use Kickstarter to help fund the recording of their albums. They don't have a record contract and record the album on their own and then find a company to distribute it. I've taken part in some of these. I thought it was a fluff site for Millennials to share a little money in exchange for the fantasy that they're part of a cutting-edge, tribal community made possible by tech. or others that just wanted something made that they wanted to buy. seems to work for some . The post-community generation seems to have a fascination with what they imagine community might be like, had they ever experienced it. |
