Reply To: Plast Craft Games are in financial troubles

Another company hit by the Sword of Damocles that is the Kick Starter (although I still don’t know why “smaller” KS schemes go with an alternate crow funding platform as KickStarter itself takes a pretty large commission). It was a “branch out” from the usual Plast Craft product into an oversaturated “boardgame with minis” market (which is pretty dominated by the “Big Boys” of the KS schemes like CMON, Mythic, Monolith, Mantic etc which take the majority of gamers crowdfunding spend and effectively don’t allow the smaller companies in (they just use KS as an advertising and pre-order tool). Sad to see, and I hope they can recover and leave this KS madness alone (and I think the bubble has burst on most KS schemes as gamers are definitely feeling a “KS fatigue” as we are constantly spammed with KS news almost every other day).
