JL Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 If the Kickstarter Campaign does not make it to $50K , is the project cancelled with no physical magazine? What happens to the funds if Cancelled? Are they returned, or are they lost to those who contributed [the backers]. If "backers" are in no danger of loosing their money then I'm sure many like me will not be hesitant to subscribe for one year at the $30 or $35 level.

Unsuccessful funds on Kickstarter are not charged to donators, you get it all back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always a risk with any Kickstarter project. The pledges don't get collected unless the target is met within the allotted time frame, however, there is no guarantee that the project creator will ever deliver on the specific promises made. The creator of this particular project is pretty well known and established here and elsewhere and I think the risk is pretty low that no magazine will ever materialize (whether it goes 6+ issues is a whole other question), but there are no guarantees with any Kickstarter, so backers should always be cautious.

raindog Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Congratulations! I think this'll be the first gaming magazine I've bought since Nintendo Power died... it'll be nice to get my gaming info on something bigger than 5" diagonally and that doesn't require batteries. And with little to no brownish-grey first-person shooter content, no less, at least until the Doom retrospective issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) congrats! 62K seems like a real possibility now! What is the significance of 62k? Is it the exposure on this site that got them the push they needed the last 7-8 days? I was surprised that I was unable find anything on this effort at digitalpress especially since Joe is involved with the project. This will the first print edition video game magazine I purchased since my "Classic Gamer Magazine" subscription back in 1999-2001 . I may have found out about that on the old 2600nexus site which of course became atariage. The collector in me hopes these are shipped in a protected manner....

cimerians Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Congratulations to the people behind the mag, I'm also a backer and I'm just happy to see a Retro Mag like this one take shape. I haven't subscribed to a gaming magazine for 10 years. Classic Gamer Magazine and PSM were the last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I somehow missed this project until after it met its goal, but I'm now a backer! Congratulations to everyone involved, and thanks for undertaking a new retro gaming magazine. I can't wait to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Was it the exposure on this site that got them the push they needed the last 7-8 days?....The collector in me hopes these are shipped in a protected manner.... That, & SoCal Mike guested on just about every gaming podcast I subscribe to. Maybe the "extra" $$$ they earn 'til Sunday can be used for protective shipping sleeves. My subscribed RetroGamers came plastic wrapped &'were always in great shape.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggomania Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I can't wait to read this! I helped fund this project, the first time I ever funded anything at Kickstarter. I loved Nintendo Power and I miss reading that. It will be nice to read another gaming magazine. Hopefully this magazine will be a huge success!

RJ Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 RetroGamer Magazine is getting a little too "modern" for me... Good, sounds like I quit subscribing to RG magazine at the right time...though I bought the digital Q*bert issue (#129?) & reading the current free issue. IIRC one of the recent cover features is on a very recent game...which should NOT be covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
