Tht isn't my impression at all. Successful projects are increasingly projects that could afford to go a long ways before reaching Kickstarter. The few exceptions date back to the beginning of the crowdfunding era, when criticizing publishers was the way to go. Thorvalla is kind of showing that having just an idea and a fanbase doesn't cut it anymore. Hopefully the coming days will prove me wrong.
