[QUOTE="GKG_Alan, post: 8511401, member: 6859797"] Alan from GKG here! It's not quite that simple (in our eyes), but if you want to reduce it to that, then yes. For years, folks have been leveling the "Kickstarter is just preorder" accusation, so in an attempt to cut back on Kickstarters (as well as fees to Kickstarter, pledgemanagers, and more), we've attempted to "crowd-fundify" our preorders. We've attempted to replicate a significant portion of the crowdfunding experience as best we can. Like stretch goals, we've still based bonus rewards on total orders/amount raised, we've added elements like a progress bar, as well as public and transparent goals to make the game we want how we want. In a large way, it is akin to an Indiegogo or Gofundme, where we get the funds as they come in. If we want to "gather all the money" at one time (more like Kickstarter), we have that option can structure any GallantFunding that way if we desire. This set up and tool is a lot more flexible on our end, which means we can tailor to the individual needs of a project, rather than shoehorning everything into a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
