[QUOTE="Lalato, post: 9162555, member: 9171"] Side topic... what happens to Crowdfunded products after fulfillment. The vast majority become available for sale on the creator's website or through some third-party marketplace like DriveThruRPG. However, there is a small subset of projects that successfully fund and deliver... and then just... disappear. A few of these are physical books with no plan to make a PDF available. But I've seen a fair number now where the creator of the crowdfunding campaign has no interest in making the product available for sale beyond whoever backed the campaign. The most recent example I encountered... the creator thought it too much of a hassle to even add it to a third-party site. Understandable from a small-time creator, I suppose. I've never used DtRPG from a publisher's point of view so no clue how much of a hassle it is. In another example, the creator only planned on offering it as an add-on for future crowdfunding campaigns. That's a strategy of sorts. But the original campaign was funded by just over 200 people. Feels like intentionally limiting one's audience to go this route. Many of these are from smaller publishers or very small creative teams. Are there any successfully fulfilled crowdfunding campaigns that were really big, but it's impossible to find the product after they shipped to campaign supporters? [/QUOTE]
