This is weird. I wonder if this type of crowdfunding will catch on.

I'm interested in Stormgate and I want it to succeed, but being able to invest in it like this kinda gives it scammy vibes.

For me I think it depends on insider ownership. If the management and developers are holding reasonable stakes then it encourages putting out a product that is profitable... I convinced myself out of it, profitable doesn't always mean good.
