Project Description - Crowdfunding and Video Games

For my research paper, I will be describing how crowdfunding has benefited video games. I will be discussing crowdfunding sites like kickstarter and indiegogo. I will also talk about about how this method of funding has helped revitalize genres of video games that were once considered dead, and also helped revive the careers of formerly prominent video game developers. Lastly, I will talk about the controversies involved around this type of funding, including failed projects and other projects that did not deliver on all of the promises that were made during their crowdfunding campaigns.
