Tim Schafer's involved so they can all go fuck themselves.

He did what now?
I mean sure, Broken Age sucked, especially Part 2, but why all the extra hate ITT?
It's funny to see who people are so fixated on one person, that they have a seizure anytime they saw his name somewhere. It's like paranoia. I just imagine them sitting in front of their computer and after seeing Tim's name, they start screaming, and white foam dripping from their mouth.

Really? The codex is fun because people don't think of themselves a "critical thinkers" (and in general don't take themselves too seriously) and post witty catchphrases and knee-jerk reactions. There are other forums (like neoGAF) who take themselves way more seriously.

Is it seriously 5%? I'd consider it if it worked like online share brokers, just pay a $20 fee regardless of amount (for shares that makes it pretty easy to ensure that brokerage is less than 1% of value). Not as a money-making system of course - for that I'd need access to the company's financials, and a proven record, like with actual shares. But in terms of 'do I pay for this game via kickstarter or via fig?', the promise of 20c back is quantifiable enough to be decisive.

Humanity is just not a learning animal.
How many times does he have to fuck you before you stop sending him money signed with a kiss?
I mean you can play the "LOLOL Losers In Moms Basement Hate Tim LOLOLOL"..
But what happens when...

I'm not defending Tim at all in this thread. I just find it ridiculous that when people see Tim's name, they just dismiss whatever the news is about. Even if by logic, it has nothing to do with Tim's poor management abilities. In Fig's case, Tim might be a poor manager, but it has nothing to do with the projects developed by people who are not Tim and Double Fine. Running a project on Fig has nothing to do with Tim. They get the money, they develop the game and Tim has no saying in development.
But people dismiss it because Tim is one of the people who decide wether a project can be on Fig or not. I repeat, Tim is not developing the games, he is not managing it, he just has a say in wether the crowdfunding can start on Fig or not.
But noooo, people are not thinking about this, they just bashing Fig and making edgy remarks about it being shit because of Tim. What if Divinity OS2 would be on Fig? Tim being on the board would meen nothing, because HE IS NOT DEVELOPING THE GAME.
Don't call me a douche OK, because I try to be civilised and not offensive in my remarks. I try to put my points through without offend anyone. Well, except if the other parties are complete retards.

But it is really not, because it is identical to kickstarter, with offering a plus (the possibility to invest). I personally know people who think that the only disadventage of KS is that you don't can anything back financially from the project you back. But if you don't want to invest, it is just the same as KS. If you like KS, there is no reason you dislike Fig.

J_C just doesn't understand a person not living up to standards of decency because he doesn't really have any.

I am not continuing. I just did it once. Maybe you're thinking of someone else?
Seems you're taking this shit way too seriously yourself, guy. I mean, the way you're carrying on, whining and crying. Tim Schafer's name is attached and it just doesn't matter whether he has any power or not, for some of us it's ENOUGH to not want to support this thing. So what, deal with it.
I'm sure this venture will do just fine, despite the lack of support of a few dozen codexers. I mean, the first project's only been live for a short while and they've already raised 75 large!
True, I'm taking this too seriously. I'm just trying to be the voice of reason, and logic, opposite to others who are basing their comments on their feelings, without thinking things through.
I was thinking of you continuing the insults that others have started.

Eeeehhhh, yeah, maybe.
You don't invest in the venture of Tim, you invest in a game, just like in KS. The money goes to the developer, not to Tim. Just like in KS.
