Title: New crowdfunding platform: Fig
Post by: idolminds on Friday, August 21, 2015, 09:13:55 PM

Site (https://www.fig.co/)
About page (https://www.fig.co/about) where you'll see some familiar faces.

So what makes this one different from Kickstarter or IndieGoGo:

1) It's only for videogames
2) Not just anyone will be able to put up a project
3) Actual investment is an option, where you can get a return if the game does well

You can read a nice writeup here (http://gamasutra.com/blogs/ZacharyStrebeck/20150821/251878/Figco_launches_to_allow_equity_crowdfunding_for_games__heres_how_it_works.php) for more details. Unless you're rich, you won't be investing. But you can still back projects like you would on KS or whatever.

Huh, well that's pretty interesting.
