Danni Loe from Pandasaurus Games and James Hudson from Druid City Games rejoin the show to talk about the benefits and increasing drawbacks of producing games through Kickstarter. KS provides upfront cash and immediate feedback from fans, which is great. It also has huge issue with lack of moderation, the move to blockchain, and overall unresponsiveness to the very creators it says it wants to highlight. James and Danni break all of that down for you.

Jason plays a bit of "devil's advocate" in this episode. In response to my discussion with Geoff Engelstein which held a whole lot of skepticism, a few watchers reached out to me to defend their purchases of NFTs and participation in that community. For the sake of a more well rounded discussion, I try to recreate their counter arguments as far as I can.
