While I don't have the money at the moment, the second I do I will be donating $140 to this game. Not for any of the cool stuff though... okay, maybe for some of the cool stuff, but for another reason.
This game is being funded by us, the players. The fans of Obsidian. They know what WE want, not what they think will get them the most money or will appeal to the wider audience. There's no f******g around with this game. There's no publishing, political BS. It's just us, paying Obsidian for the game WE want.
I'm hoping that this is the start to a new trend, a trend of developers getting funding straight from the players instead of being told what to do by their publishers, whether it be from game revenues or donations, much like this project.
God speed Obsidian, you have my full support.
