You are the worst.

If it were Capcom doing this to fund Mega Man Legends 3, he'd be declaring them gods.
Well he has to to make this game; the game he wanted. But clearly a small game that will occupy a quarter of their staff for 9 months is neither necessary nor sufficient for the survival of the company.
It was a play to leverage their name and the equity it hold with fans to achieve greater creative control (and to give the fans the game they've been bitching for for a long time).
If I was Yu Suzuki, I'd be paying close attention right now.
Yu Suzuki lol
Adventure games lol
I love everything about this.
There has never been a kickstarter project of any kind to raise a million dollars, and Double Fine looks like they will do that in 24 hours. There has never been a kickstarter game to raise more than $175,000 total ever and this did that in about 3 hours. This is so completely beyond what has been done with this model before, and it legitimizes it in a new way.
brb making a kickstarter to fund my education.
GOD DAMN, 500k since I checked last night! So much for there being no market for adventure games. Of course, I imagine a large number of pledges were made by people that have grown frustrated with the way developers are treated by the current industry business model. The people have certainly spoken.
Feels good to be part of this.
