Kickstarter - The Dark Side
Obsidian Entertainment, the company that set out to create a spiritual successor of Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment with Project Eternity has, at their own information been approached by publishers with some doggy proposals. CEO Feargus Urquhart said:
‘We were actually contacted by some publishers over the last few months that wanted to use us to do a Kickstarter. I said to them 'So, you want us to do a Kickstarter for, using our name, we then get the Kickstarter money to make the game, you then publish the game, but we then don't get to keep the brand we make and we only get a portion of the profits.'
They said, 'Yes'.
No name has been given yet as to whom we have to thank for this dick move. Should they be revealed or not? Share your opinion on this down below.
