You could make this observation about an awful lot of Kickstarter projects, honestly. Here's a random example from a recent campaign I donated to:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/JoshuaACNewman/mobile-frame-zero-rapid-attack http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/JoshuaACNewman/mobile-fr...
"It's rather interesting to note that as a society we have advanced enough to the point that we can donate the resources to support roughly 2 average size families[1] for a year to a "game designer" to make a tabletop game about Lego robots."
Honestly, your scare quotes and italics kind of hurt your claim of "no condemnations or moral objections" and make your post come off as kind of judgmental.
[1] just guessing that $40k might be enough to support an "average sized" family depending on the part of the country
- pdeuchler 14y agoI was afraid those editorial annotations would get me in trouble with my neutral stance... "Pop culture critic" is in quotes, as that is how the author describes herself in the kickstarter video. I italicized "video games" to emphasize the triviality of what is being studied, not to trivialize the actual study (Though you could argue that's still what I'm doing).
- enneff 14y agoArt colors how we see the world and ourselves. The video game industry is bigger than the motion picture industry. I don't see how it's at all trivial.
