There appears to be alot of indie developers trying to kickstart their fighting games after the success of Skullgirls. Beast Fury, Chainsaw Incident, MLP fighting is Magic to name a few. I understand the developers of these games aren't huge companies. But I think they should treat those who donate as investors.
What they're doing is for profit. They are attempting to make money off their game. If people put money into the development of a game, those same people should see some of the profits should the game turn a profit.
Also from the developer's side they're hurting themselves. By resorting to crowd funding for their fighter. They have to listen to the inputs of those who know little about what makes a fighter. If they feel the developer isn't listening they'll stop supporting. Their at the mercy of the average gamer who knows little about fighters.
