Upon announcing its return to the console world, reporters were sceptical of Atari’s claims that there was a gap in the market for its newly launched Atari VCS given its previously established competition. These same reporters are now eating their words, including yours truly, as Atari has amassed a whopping …

Atari’s new retro-inspired console has had a bit of a rough ride during development, as its crowdfunding seems to have missed its second deadline. Although pre-orders were expected to go live in December and then again in April, it looks like buyers will have to wait until the end of …

Atari announced that it was set to begin crowdfunding its upcoming Ataribox today, using Indiegogo as its platform of choice. Unfortunately, it seems the company has hit a bit of a snag and has had to delay its launch, ultimately pausing the countdown timer. This is a bit of a …

Atari surprised everyone when it announced it was going to release its first gaming hardware in 20 years, and surprised everyone even more with its price set to rival that of current consoles. Now, the Ataribox is set to go on sale as an Indiegogo exclusive on December 14th. Back …

Although sites like Kickstarter accept credit and debit card payments for campaigns, Paypal has always proved a popular route since it offered some measure of protection for users. Not any more though, as the site has announced that after the end of June this year, payments made through crowd funding …

Passwords are problematic for many reasons. You know that, I know that, and John McAfee certainly knows it; digital security has been a major part of his presidential campaign after all. Perhaps it shouldn't be surprising then that he wants to kill them off: with EveryKey, a BlueTooth connected device that decrypts …

As the popularity of Esports continue to grow around the world, it's becoming more and more apparent to more people that there is a lot of tension involved in training for 12 hours a day, living with your team mates and eventually, maybe winning a championship. So no wonder someone …

One of the big trends for gaming peripheral makers in recent years has been to recruit a famous Esports team and have them endorse your gear. Often that same team will be ‘involved' in some capacity during the development, offering pointers on features or aesthetics, but a lot of end-user …

As much as having a camera set up can be great for security, in that it can record anyone breaking into your property, in an age of wireless updates and web clients, there's also the possibility that it will be hacked and its footage or feeds viewed by governments or …

If there is any indication that crowd funding has the potential to disrupt the world's economies, it's this. If current trends continue, crowd funding is going to provide more investment to businesses and projects in 2016 than venture capitalists will. That could have a real impact on how companies pitch …

One of the best things to come out of the internet in recent years is crowd funding. Yes it's led to some terrible products and terrible let downs, often promoted by terrible people, but more often than not it lets the public decide what's worthy of being made. And that's exactly what's happened …

Inventor Sir Clive Sinclair yesterday backed a new crowd funding project aiming to revive the ZX Spectrum brand of home consoles, sparking a wave of interest and netting the project its £100,000 goal in just one day. The campaign will also be donating some of its earned money to a …

An advertising agency has launched a crowd-funding campaign to raise up to $150,000 to pester Valve employees with ‘we want Half-Life 3' advertisements and Gabe Newell lookalikes, in an effort to get the company to finish the game. This isn't the first time someone has tried to launch a Half-Life 3 …

Indiegogo is looking to take on Patreon with its own consistent crowd funding service, which will reportedly be called ‘Forever Funding'. These new campaigns will allow content creators to to receive a continuous stream of money for their work, rather than having to resort to temporary crowd funding methods. A source …

Despite all the hate that most of the gaming press has been heaping on its readers as of late, in some sort of strange instance of chastising the hand that feeds it, gamers aren't actually a bunch of misogynistic, hateful, basement dwellers. In-fact, a vast majority are well adjusted adults …

The biggest argument people have against movie piracy, is that people just don't want to pay for things. That's a fair point, as no doubt there is a number of file sharers that do it for that reason, but others must have an alterior motive, as a bunch of torrent …

Ever since I watched Rocky IV back in my early teens, where Ivan Drago grunts his way through a montage and continually increases his punching power by swinging away against that big bank of LEDs the Soviets apparently used to track it, I've wanted to know how hard I can …

The Solar roadways project took the internet by storm when it first went up for funding on Indiegogo. The project has already surpassed its $1 million goal and now it looks to be closing in on the $2 million mark, bringing the world changing project closer to reality. The initial …

A crowd funding campaign has been launched on Indiegogo to bring out the world's first 3D, 360 degree camera, which can be used to film video for virtual reality headsets to make you feel like “you are at the centre of the action”. The campaign is aiming for $25,000 in …

Even with the teases and hints that a sequel to Shaq Fu might be in the works, and even after Shaq himself said so in an interview, I still didn't think we'd actually get one, but that's exactly what's happening. Over at Indiegogo right now is Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn and …

Once again the internet's ability to bring like minded people together to help fight injustice has been proven. Just yesterday we reported on how Paypal had frozen the account of Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm developers, after they withdrew half of their Indiegogo raised funds, with the online-loan-shark suggesting that it …

Indiegogo was the first crowd funding site I ever heard about it. It was for the Angry Video Game Nerd movie, which back then I kicked in about $20 for. That was the last time I looked in on Indiegogo though, despite having pledged to more than a few games …
