Kickstarting a Double Fine Adventure

The most successful Kickstarter pledge is under way — happening right now folks. And what a pledge it is — the promise of an original adventure game, a fringe genre by today’s standards — backed by you and me, the fans. Could this be a new direction for gaming publishing forever?

Probably not, but it does send a message to big publishers — that there are alternatives to getting funded and distributed, so what are you gonna do about it? And that is the question everyone should be asking: how will the middle men of the gaming industry adapt?
