These days, doing “crowdfunding” of music has become so commonplace that it’s hardly worth mentioning any more, but it’s still a bit new in other content realms. Reader Pat points us to the news that a new video game, Grim Dawn, is trying to fund itself<\/a> with this kind of model. The game is a “spiritual successor” to Titan Quest, and has three tiers of support<\/a> from $20 to $48. Basically, the more you pay, the earlier access you get to the game (alpha or beta stage). I’d be curious to see how well it works, but I’m not sure it really offers that much excitement. I could see big fans of the game really wanting to get in on the alpha, but I wonder if it’s enough to really fund the game.<\/p>\n
