100% PR move. After the debacle he has created with his scam of a game it's in his best interest to do whatever he can to get people to believe in kick starters.
I for one will never support a kick starter since Roberts has shown how easily you can do whatever the hell you want with the funds with zero repercussions (so far).
hey heres an idea, how about you GO TO A BANK AND GET A LOAN SO YOURE NOT PUTTING ORDINARY PPL ON THE STREET ON THE HOOK FOR YOU, ITS YOUR OWN ASS.
Game developers tried this for years. They got shot down if their ideas were NOT a multi-platform, grafically thumbed down sequel of a proven IP called Assassins Call of Battlecraft following the Ubisoft formula and having at least 32 exploding roflcopters in it and - heaven forbid - not conforming to an at that time en-vogue genre.
Crowdfunding allows game developers to create the games they want - independent of banks and publishers - and allows players to have a hand in getting the games THEY want in the quality THEY want.
All it takes is a little patience and active participation in testing and feedback.
