Free Play 141 | When Kickstarters Go Too Far

SHOW NOTES

This week Matt found a Kickstarter for Marvel Zombies – A Zombicide Game and the highest tier that included ALL the good stuff was over $600. He was crushed. The Kickstarter was also finished, so he had no chance anyways. But it made us think: is there a price limit to Kickstarter FOMO? Is a $600 ask a good business decision for the developers and reasonable for the consumer?

That’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play podcast.
