Kickstarter is one of the things that is saving the gaming industry , specifically because indie (and some non-indie) developers get their games funded by the playerbase , and thus dont need to answer to money grubbing publishers on deadlines and shit like that.
I am a PC Gamer first and foremost , though i also have consoles , but if the consoles should become extinct (which i doubt) i wouldnt be bothered as long as PC as a gaming platform wont be forgotten (and truth be told , never will. )
