On: Double Fine launched a new game on Kickstarter

[TillE]

HN seems to view Kickstarter mostly through the lens of hardware projects, which are incredibly risky and done with very thin margins.

Game development by an experienced team is not quite a guaranteed thing, but it is a much safer bet.

Agree with this. The risk should be very minimal that they can't, at the very least, ship the game as expected.

Whether they can make it a success is a different kind of risk.
