Already blown through it's minimum.

So the Heroquest Kickstarter is looking SUPER-shady:

1) The combination of the license in Spain, Kickstarter in Canada is possibly an angle to avoid being liable in one jurisdiction. Not a problem in and of itself, but in combination with other things, it's problematic.

2) None of their material is actual pictures of things that are real.

3) There are only 87 backers at the tier that gets you the game and 3098 backers at the most expensive tier. That ratio seems odd, as generally speaking "just the game" is a very popular tier for any Kickstarter.

4) The company involved appears to have an established pattern of buying trademarks in Spain without having produced anything yet:

Soooooo.... this looks like total fucking bullshit to me (Sorry Buge!).

That day, Buge finally stopped cumming.

Annnnnnnd it just got pulled due to IP dispute. I think we're done here.

[Büge]

Well, it was a good ride while it lasted.

Apparently the takedown notice was not by Hasbro, but by someone that owns an unrelated line of products called Hero's Quest on the US.

So the Ouya folks are now telling supporters to tweet-spam developers to get them to port games to their system. Revolutionizing the gaming industry, indeed.

[Brentai]

I thought the whole point was that you don't have to specifically port to it?

This is a neat kickstarter.  A series of linked comics that all lead into each other and can be read starting anywhere.
