I've noticed in recent months there has been a massive explosion in the number of kickstarter ventures in the gaming market, perhaps due to some early successful fund-raising attempts.
However, as more and more people jump on the bandwagon (typically to resurrect old ideas in some way shape or form, whether it be bringing back a forgotten genre, or making a 'spiritual sequel' etc), is there a danger that the novelty will wear off and people will start saying "you know what, I've contributed to 3 projects now but won't see any fruits of that for a couple of years, I'm getting fed up now - I can only fund so many projects!".
