Something similarly suspicious is going on with the campaign for Gridiron Thunder, another game competing for matching funds from the OUYA Free The Games fund[1]. So far it has raised $115k (of a $75k goal) with only 167 backers and the donation patterns for the project are extremely unusual compared to the average Kickstarter[2]. The game in the article actually looks much more like a typical Kickstarter project, except for a single spike on the ninth day[3].

- babuskov 13y agoEven more controversy: http://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2013/09/21919-drama-continues-on-successfully-funded-ouya-game-gridiron-thunder/ http://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2013/09/21919-drama-continue... "If there wasn't that stupid pledge limit, we would have even have donated more!" So, obviously $10k is the limit on Kickstarter, and more backers than usual are reaching it. This is raising red flags with Kickstarter. The whole OUYA campaign rules are flawed.
