I think this is an extremely cool route for developers to take. It allows them to get their products made and instead of worrying about pitching it to publishers (who won't buy/play the game, they care only about the bottom line: will it make me money) and instead turns to the people, who will actually enjoy and play the game.

Not to mention the pride we feel when the game comes out and even if we donated the minimum amount, we can still think: "Hey, I was a part of this."

I actually made a post recently about this shift in development in regards to the DF kickstarter on my blog. You can read it here if you'd like http://www.thesociallyawkwardgamer.com/2012/02/19/power-to-the-people/

I'd bring my Binkie.

And a clean pair of underpants.

And never forget my towel.

Someplace I can see em comin from a long way off.
