Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#031 - Debate: Is Crowdfunding Good for the Hobbyist?
Q: How has crowdfunding affected the balance between big publishers and indie designers?
The hosts agree that crowdfunding democratizes access and discovery for indie titles while also enabling big publishers to test ideas and market through platforms, though it can skew attention toward the biggest campaigns.
#031 - Debate: Is Crowdfunding Good for the Hobbyist?
Q: Luis, what's a crowdfunded game from 2025 that would not have existed without crowdfunding?
Luis points to titles like Ministry of Lost Things and Pandora's Legacy, arguing crowdfunding enabled financial stability and risk-taking for smaller teams, which would have been unlikely in a traditional retail model.
#007 - Should Knizia and Rosenberg Stop?
Q: Should Knizia and Rosenberg just stop?
Luis suggests that the system compels designers to keep releasing games, as consumers want new content, while Joonas argues that the volume of releases could risk their reputations.
