All you have to tell some people is 'Tim Schafer needs donations to make a new game ' and they will be logging in to their paypal account before the end of the sentence.

Yes, quite agreed. More people are familiar with Day of the Tentacle or similar than more recent games in a more niche genre, probably.

But while I agree that it's complete as far as a putting blocks on other blocks simulator, there were a lot of announced or hinted or coming-soon features that still haven't made it in. Although now that Notch has stepped back and handed the reins to Jeb I'm actually hoping that it might get interesting again, eventually. I've spent a lot more time being impressed by pictures of other people's work in Minecraft or watching videos set in Minecraft than I have ever spent actually playing it.

For me, it did what I wanted it to, so I can't really gripe. Most of the stuff being added now I actually gripe more about, because I feel like it's trying to tack on a second game and not doing a good job of it. I want more of what actually made Minecraft great in the first place, not a second game grafted onto it. Anyhow, we'll see how things go as time passes for them, like you say.

I just realized I hadn't checked Double Fine's kickstarter page since they passed their goal in a quick 8 hours. So I looked again to see what number they were up to. I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything at the time, or I might have ruined my keyboard.

Erm... Can you think of a better way?

paypal ;D (which supports delayed/planned payments)
I don't even have a credit card, and never will. I don't live on credit. ^^ (By the way, what i have is an EC Card, but i wouldn't use Amazon payment regardless)

I wonder if people even know they aren't pledging money for Psychonauts 2 there? Unless Psychonauts is a point and click game now, in which case i don't want that.
And even better
--- Quote ---All money raised will go to make the game and documentary better. Additional money means it can appear on more platforms, be translated into more languages, have more music and voice, and an original soundtrack for the documentary, and more!

So it all goes into this point and click game, and not Psychonauts 2.. lmao ;) I wonder what makes people pledge money for a game like that as it says specifically POINT and CLICK.
I am confused?

In the states we have debit cards, which (at least in my case, not sure if there are other forms) just pulls the money out of my checking account and if it's not there it fails. No credit involved, no debt involved.. But the card works everywhere an actual credit card would, and in fact just looking at it you wouldn't be able to tell it was debit instead of credit. Is that basically what an EC card is where you live?
