Patreon

Top Con

Unproven model for game funding

Patreon is one of the newest crowdfunding sites, and its unique model makes comparison to other sites difficult. As of August 2014, no high-profile developers have chosen Patreon for funding. See More

Top Pro

Great for influencers with unique contributions

Rewards artists developing unique content very well. No other platforms compare as of now. See More

Top Con

Difficult to make long-term projections

Because patrons can pull out at any time, you can't necessarily rely on a certain rate of pledges even if you maintain consistent work. See More

Top Pro

Low risk to patrons

Campaigns are ongoing and funded based on observable work, so the potential patron doesn't have to worry about the project dying after payments are collected. See More

Top Con

Potentially inappropriate for commercial products

Patreon's structure and culture assume free distribution of the creators' output. Collecting secondary revenue (e.g. unit sales, in-game ads) is not strictly prohibited, but may be seen as a violation of trust if not handled carefully. See More

Top Pro

Projects can change and adapt over time

Without the advance payment of a large lump sum of donations, creators are free from the associated commitment to the specific goals those donations were based on. This also reduces the need for exhaustive time and budget estimates, which can be daunting for new and inexperienced developers. See More

Top Pro

No need for reward schemes

The deliverable is the reward; so you can focus all your attention on developing an awesome game, rather than posting and packaging. See More

Top Pro
