I think that the problem with their model is that if they fund 10 games, statistically, 9 of them are going to flop/run way overbudget and be unfinished, or whatever.

I can't see it staying afloat as a thing that's letting people get paid to pursue what they like. They're going to have to be as selective as a publisher in this, and really just offer better terms.

Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.

sadly this is the reality. People think the big studios are just uncreative or dont like to fund experimental ideas. Truth is that there is a completely legitimate reason for it. Honestly I suspect this will end up like most publishers like Capcom or EA, that churn out guaranteed money makers so they have the extra cash to take risks.

edit: scratch that, thinking it over abit doing that is antithetical to their stated goals. Crap this might actually be doomed to failure

No? It's entirely true.

"Publishers can't take risks because 9/10 games fail, and they'll go broke."

"NO, I CAN REFUTE THAT! LOOK AT THESE PEOPLE DROPPING OUT OF PUBLISHERS BECAUSE THE PUBLISHERS REFUSE TO TAKE RISKS BECAUSE 9/10 GAMES FAIL AND THEY'D GO BROKE."
