"I don't see how we ever come out of this without changes in technology or changes in behavior, because with the status quo, it's an unsustainable model. Unsustainable in that you never get ahead, never become secure, never have a reasonable expectation of privacy or security,'' Mr. Henry said."

The game is now well over $1 million raised and show no signs of slowing down. http://venturebeat.com/2012/02/09/double-fine-adventures-tim-schafer-ron-gilbert-kickstarter-record-million/ Schafer wrote an update on the Kickstarter page, saying the extra money will mean they can put the game on more platforms. So in examining the economics, this upfront surge is going to be a multiplier once the game is actually published. Another thing to factor in, of course, is that Kickstarter gets 5% and Amazon payments gets 5%. If Kickstarter could figure out a way to cut Amazon out of the picture, a lot more money would go the creators.
