Awww you can't bring up examples of companies being bad and holding games for ransom without bringing up MML3, or I'll be sad :(
It's strange to me that they'd ONLY make it if they reached $1 million on Broken Sword rather than just making it it's own separate Kickstarter project.
...But on the other hand, it's Revolution, and I love them.

Huh, as awesome as these folks are, I call bs on this. It is a sleaze tactic. One that will totally work.
So....It's a sleazy tactic cause after they met their goal of the game they wanted to make they added a second goal to make another game?
Yet if they just made a separate kickstarter for the game entirely it wouldn't be considered sleazy, and... isn't the same thing?
What angers the Internet sometimes is hilarious.
I assuming most people are mad because they want it to be either made with no additional costs, or somehow feel that they are being two timed for funding a different game that will be made regardless of this and think it's being held hostage or something cause...The other game..is already being made...and...What?

But that's because Allistair pretty much hates everything kickstarter.
Interesting stretch goal, I'm guessing they'll make it with the profits of Broken Sword, even if they don't hit their mark. People seem to really freak out about stretch goals. Yet stretch goals really are legitimate in a business model where you only get 500k-3000k for a game. Here it actually depends on how much they get so they are ABLE to make the content, instead of just assuring more pre-orders.

I just think its sleaze to hold a highly sought after sequel ransom. Yes its sleaze to me. But as freaky said, with these guys, it'll probably still get made even without reaching their goal. Doesn't stop it from being sleaze imo.
I don't think this is "sleaze" at all. It's actually kind of neat."We want to make this game, but if we get enough funding we will make 2." why is that so bad?
I think these people mean well, for what it's worth. It's saying "We already got the funding for this uber-cool game, and that's awesome! But if we hit this imaginary number, then we'd love to unload a sequel to this other classic game on you all to melt your faces off! Cool, huh?" Believe me, if LucasArts had a Maniac Mansion 3 Kickstarter with a goal of greenlighting FullThrottle 2 at a million dollars I'd be robbing banks right now.
That said, it rubs me the wrong way too. The fate of one game's Kickstarter shouldn't determine the outcome for another. I think they meant well but missed the mark. And believe me, I'd fund Beneath A Steel Sky 2 IN A HEARTBEAT before I'd fund a new Broken Sword game. BASS kicks fucking anus.
That said, I already intend to put $100 into this current Kickstarter. I only ever played the original, but it was a great game that I enjoyed beating, so paying for a package that includes physical copies of the entire series sounds right up my alley! So, more power to them I guess?
