Power Button - Episode 179: Who Do You Trust?
July 13, 2015
With all the pressure and buzz pushing players to preorder the latest new video games sight unseen, how does one know when it's safe to put down money on an unproven product? Who do you trust to release a solid, fun, working game? On this episode of the Power Button podcast, Blake Grundman and I discuss the recent bad taste left in the collective mouth of Kickstarter backers after Keiji Inafune asks for new seed money for another game before his last crowdfunded project, Mighty No. 9, is finished. That leads into a spirited back and forth regarding which developers and publishers have earned our trust over the years. Hubba hubba hubba!
