The lads share horror stories from Kickstarters and Indiegogos they've backed. They also share some positive examples. I mean, not all Kickstarters are bad. Undertale was a Kickstarter. That was a pretty nifty game. They put Sam Undertown in Smash, after all. It's Sakurai-approved.

They also talk about the trend of microtransactions in full price video games, and Vorp gets real real mad about Crash Team Racing.

Timecards:

13:21 - Cans Without Labels
