For those asking more about GameStarter's process. In the end game, Gamestarter will be an online platform, optimized to assist game creators around the world to collaborate on game projects. While there is focus on tools to directly work together, our main goal is to unite creators with others who share their unique, game vision. So firstly, creators, find your dream game-making team through our platform, and get to work conceptualizing games. While creators are hard at work, game players will comment, critique and rate these games. This process allows the community to choose their favorite games from the pool, at which point GameStarter will work with the favourited games creators to develop said game.

That doesn't sound like crowd-sourcing at all, that sounds like an endless hackathon combined with funnel to an incubator for game projects. Plus, the whole "give no information whatsoever, but make sure to ask for their email address, along with an appeal based on emotion and no quality" thing you got going on your website is skeevy as hell.

  Understand that our platform is not yet ready. You're signing up through our splash page to be a part of GameStarter when we go live. You are not looking at a ready platform. I can assure, once it's ready, GameStarter will have everything you need to efficiently collaborate, not a 'hackathon' as you said. I fail to see how gathering creators and players from the crowd, to collaborate together to validate and create games, is not crowdsourcing. Check crowdsourcing on Google.

    At the point where you "will work with the favourited games", presumably for some take. Further, regardless of how much you assure anyone, you've not even shown so much as a hint of an ui design. I have no idea what "everything i need to efficiently collaborate" is, and you are not doing a great job convincing me you know. Lastly, your vocabulary, your writing style, and your phrasing all sound like a buzzword-worshipping middle manager trying hard to make a sale. It is hard for me to overstate just how untrustworthy that makes you sound. Just to not leave you confused, here are the parts that make you sound as if you're trying very hard to pretend that you know what you're doing in order to pull a sale: "our platform" "a part of" "I can assure" "once it's ready" "everything you need to efficiently collaborate" "the crowd" If you wish to be trusted, speak in simple and humble terms.
