Cons
Con Relatively obscure
As of August 2014, RocketHub does not rank among the top 10 crowdfunding sites by traffic, and no high-profile games have been funded there.
Con Not viable until the game is in a playable state
Early access depends on consumer interest, and few consumers will be interested in an unplayable pre-alpha build. Another option must be used for early development.
