Yeah I have no problems with big companies making kickstarters. When Brandon Sanderson launched his last year, I loved it, because he obviously would’ve had no issue getting those four books published, but it was a way to gauge interest in special editions and swag boxes.
Likewise, lots of board game companies have the games totally finished but basically use Kickstarter as a fancy preorder system
Just scrolling by and saw the mention of the Brandon Sanderson kickstarter, is that still up, completely missed that and was wondering it’s it’s too late to join in.
Oh yeah that’s been over for over a year at this point. We’re on month 7 of 12 fulfillment. Bummer you missed it! It was expensive ($600 for all four books and all eight loot boxes plus audiobooks) but it has felt super worth it for me so far (I’m a mega fan though to be fair)
You might be to late to join the kickstarter but you may be able to get the fancy special edition books. Here is the latest one it is a really good book and has some fantastic art I'm excited to see in the physical book.
If you don't need the special editions the traditional publisher gets to put out their versions later on so I think you can get 1 and 2 already.
