Planetary Annihilation, an arguably incomplete and poorly made game, is a worst case scenario for crowdfunding.

The people in the meetings didn’t actually play games because they were too busy counting money, plus they were above such frivolity. They took breaks from counting their money to hold meetings in conference rooms where they showed charts that explained how much money they would make if a game came out on a certain date, usually just before a fiscal quarter ended or in time for the holiday shopping seasons.
