| Posted: 14 May 2014 08:31 PM PDT Hi folks!

| General: Some Notes on Crowdfunding Posted: 15 May 2014 02:58 AM PDT Last week in this space I talked about a project that failed to get funded on KickStarter and has since had a weird journey. In the comments on that article and the comments of a news post we had on MMORPG.com yesterday about Origins of Malu one thing became painfully clear, there are still a lot of questions and misinformation about crowdfunding and how some of these sites work. Hopefully I can help answer some of those questions for you this week and maybe get you thinking about some new ones.   |
