Interview Feargus Urquhart talks about new crowdfunding platform Fig and Obsidian's future

[Morality Games]

Don't get it about investment.
Given what huge and passionate gamer I am, and business abilities I have (double zero), I consider investment in games as well as risky as "investment" in roulette, not even in blackjack.
If we look at gamedev company's history - it's a continuous chain of falls and bankruptcies.
Just a few bad bad games, or even good, but badly marketed games - and look! it was a colossus with feet of clay!
If I had a million, I would never have become invested in PC games - donate? sure, investment? no way, get lost beggar.
Invest in real estate, a cafe, asphalt plant, anywhere but not in games.
Investing in games is the same as giving your money to Gypsies - you should understand that 99:1 you you would never see them again.

So, I was wrong in something?

Well, you did suggest donating was preferable to investing. But investing is donating where even in the worst case scenario you're probably going to get some of your money back.

According to theit "About"-page they allow women on their team.

I don't see it anywhere?

Have you ever read anything about Tim Shafer company? Boy, you are in for a surprise

Which part of that trainwreck?

Found In Garbage

Or

Fraudulent Investment Group

Take your pick.

Considering FIG's first project is not doing well I guess Obsidian's future is not that good. They can go back to being a dev for hire.

I've seen "about" page, I was asking where it says that they only allow women?
