dylanjosh Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 http://www.develop-online.net/news/40852/EA-offers-free-Origin-launch-for-Kickstarter-games Electronic Arts has pledged to host crowdfunded games on its Origin platform without charging developers any “distribution fees” for a 90-day grace period. Within that crucial first three months of a game’s release, studios hosting crowdfunded content on Origin will not pay any publishing fees or have to share revenue. The only exception is transaction fees (such as from Credit Card vendors), where a small percentage of revenue will be used to reimburse EA for the charges incurred. The publisher will make no money during this grace period, an EA representative told Develop. On the back of a Kickstarter craze that has swept through the games development sector, EA revealed plans to publish a number of popular games financed through the popular crowdfunding platform. The major coup so far is Wasteland 2, an upcoming RPG built by California studio inXile Entertainment. Submission form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 They will. But there is no harm in putting their game on as many fronts as possible. EA revealed plans to publish a number of popular games financed through the popular crowdfunding platform. What a great idea. Have your development money from Kickstarter, use it to make the game. Then have EA get in on the profits as a publisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
