Used to start a motorcycle. <br /><br />I have no idea what crowdsourcing is either. The people (call it a team if you want) are more important than the concept. "Starting" is easy. Finishing is what separates amateurs from professionals. <br /><br />Ideas are cheap'n'plenty but I see nothing of merit from this misguided museum enthusiast (I administrate an art gallery; you'll need much more than a million dollars) unless he wants to start my motorcycle. <br /><br />All due credit to the members of Ten Rats Kavern for giving this youngster some credible advice rather than simply punching him out of the room. <br /><br />-RickHuckSawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13381444935904172318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-11174834205829551442014-10-14T00:47:58.118-04:002014-10-14T00:47:58.118-04:00"if they do and are criticized they start a s...<i>"if they do and are criticized they start a smear campaign"</i><br /><br />Wait, who are they talking about here?

The low number of backers alone should have told them something was horribly, dangerously wrong. All too often, though, these crowd-funding types believe that their shit don't stink, and that we should all kneel at their hallowed examples of creativity.

I can't even wrap my head around the idea of an established company going to the consumer, tin cup in hand, begging for capital for a project. Maybe it's just me but it seems that if an idea was really good an established publishing house would have already funded it. Small independent companies just getting started, I understand but even then I try to limit my risk of investment to an amount that won't adversely affect my budget. As far as getting all but hurt over any criticism not aimed at kissing the project's proverbial ass ... You might want to put on your big boy pants before you decide to get into this business..ron65https://www.blogger.com/profile/06074986703119342744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-23909174150680356712014-10-13T16:27:07.898-04:002014-10-13T16:27:07.898-04:00$20 for a module, no page count provided?
