I don't understand. They done this in Wasteland 2 and the sell was successful, yet they still aren't independent and still do another "Fund My Project" for Wasteland 3 ? ---> Some of negative comments that I've read in W3 news.
They should always do this because to be independent from any company greedy wish, such as cut the content for DLC, pre-order, pre-paid or any terms that basically just to double the original price. Also with this, they have independent to create the game as they want, but also gave the backers some insight about the game.
