Interstellar marines, kickstarter and a running man

[WALP]

Actually I think it was the most responsible thing they could do.
ZPS has said that 600,000$ is the abselute minimum and after all thats only enough to have like 10-15 people employed for a year. Imagine if they had gone for something much lower so that it would be more realistick for them to make the kickstarter, would it be realistick that they could make the game? no, and many people would be dissapointed and loose faith in the company forever. The kickstarter is important but the game is more important.

As for frictional games making a game for 50,000 dollars, the people must have been seriusly underpayed since thats only enough to pay one person for a year, just saying.
But still an impressive achievent though, espacially since as far as I heard people were working from home.
But dont shoulder the great achievements of Frictionalgames on every other indie developer you see.
