Does KickStarter Create BAD GAMES?

i think i just hit a mental wall with early access/crowdfunded games. until the ten or so i have are done, hell move to beta, i really don't feel like searching out new games to back. speaking of i jumped back into dayz just see how far its got in over 4 years of "early access" and their zombies are still no clipping through everything a prob they've had since day 1..  but you can grow veggies now... so...

Paying up front for games removes incentive for developers to deliver quality games. DayZ is one of the best selling games in history, but it will only generate that much revenue. If a game has generated 100% of it's revenue when it's 50% finished, every hour you work on the game after that point is just lost profit. And pride only goes so far once money is involved. At that point it's just working on the game for as long as you need to avoid PR disaster, but it'll never become a 100% finished game. 

Divinity: OS did it the right way, they had their core game worked out and asked for kickstarter money so they would be able to add extra things to elevate the quality of their project, that's the only way early access or kickstarter can work in my opinion, despite the few exceptions that actually did work on the classic early access/kickstarter model. 

Nah. Despite all the negative feedback, I'm still excited to play Yooka-Laylee, and I never even played Banjo-Kazooie until like a month ago.

Not gonna lie, the Final Fantasy nerd in me heard "Some L'Cie" at 3:05

I do tend to think crowdfunded games are not typically good for the industry. I love and enjoy Hyper Light Drifter, The Banner Saga, and Yooka-Laylee seems to be exactly what I'm expecting out of it. But a problem I do see with crowdfunded games is that you "can" hold on to a game for as long as you want, i.e. Star Citizen. Other games failed epically, like Mighty No. 9, yet I still look forward to Bloodstained. My big concern with crowdfunding games is what it could be doing to Triple-A games. I have nothing to back it up, but it feels like more games come less finished and polished than others, while others hinge their bets on "DLC" which feels more like they obviously should have released the "DLC" with the vanilla games, i.e. Destiny.

I think you, The Know, are right where the crowdfunding is more for the backers than the critics, though games are free to be criticized fairly. So when a game is broken, unfinished, or unplayable it's not the fault of the people who backed it, it's to the developers who know they can get away with releasing something that will make money and they won't have to worry about.
