Double Fine / The Dark Side of Kickstarter by Ice Cream Jonsey 02/09/2012, 7:17am PST
I have never seen as many tweets about something as I have with Double Fine breaking $400,000 in crowdsourced Kickstarter money this morning. People really like Tim Schaefer's games! Good for him.




Here's a link to their page. They've passed $538K as I type this up. Now, Double Fine is fairly trustworthy. They've shipped games before and they've been good ones. Not every project that gets funded on Kickstarter is so successful and slime-free. I say this not because I want to denigrate Double Fine, I say this because of the hundreds of articles written about Kickstarter today, nobody else will point out the projects that have taken the money and ran with it.

(Fake Edit: They made sixty thousand dollars in the time it took me to write this post this morning.)
