This is brilliant on many levels. This game, good or not, will make a ton-load of money - because of the hype/craze around Ouya.
This is Distribution 101. Find a hot platform/wave, and ride it as long as you can.
This guy is at the top of the wave and will be riding all the way to the steps of the bank.
- redslazer 14y agoThey are releasing in 2015. The internet and the sort of hype around a gaming console is not going to last that long. Remember the internet (as a whole) has the long term memory of an intelligent goldfish. If they had a game to release right now, as the OUYA launched then you would be right but in this case it seems kind of far fetched.
- joshschreuder 14y agoIf it makes the goal amount (it is currently $4M above it), the money is charged from people and is then in Robotoki's hands. Whether those people still care about the game in 2015 is irrelevant - as a money making venture, it's quite clever (and clearly successful). EDIT: Never mind - I got confused thinking the game had raised $5M on Kickstarter, not the Ouya. My bad.
- dekz 14y agoYes I was confused also, it's actually an Update post on Ouya's Kickstarter project, not a new project for HumanElement.
- marcamillion 14y agoI am sure they will get 'pre-orders' and all this other stuff - still capitalizing on the hype.
