When you figure out how to crowdfund the next Avatar/Game of Thrones/Last of Us let me know. You might not care about them, but enough people did value them enough to pay 100s of millions for them after they were created. I'm eagerly awaiting anyone to put forward a plan on how to convince the masses to risk pre-paying 100s of millions for the creation of a new-but-equivalently-awesome IP. It would not be a sensible risk proposition by any measure.
- nawitus 12y agoObviously companies are not crowdfunding much stuff if they can use regulation to increase profit.
- csense 12y agoMarket penetration of crowdfunding is still really low. Think of how many non-tech friends and relatives you have who have ever crowdfunded anything. Now think of how many people you know who have cable TV or go to movies. Crowdfunding is still a business model with a lot of room for growth, whereas cable and movies have saturated the market, at least in the USA.
