   @vicorva I don't have any problem with it, but I have got the impression that IGG was regarded as sort of shady compared to Kickstarter. No idea if that's changed with the whole blockchain thing.

     @vicorva @terrana if it's a game (inc tabletop) or any kind of interactive digital thing I'd definitely recommend looking at the stuff itch.io offers; they have a "sale with target" feature that works like a crowdfund and not enough people know about it

     @vicorva @terrana I think it got used for a lot of projects that weren't "reputable" enough for KS, and it's hard to think of a huge indiegogo success story (but easy to find examples of projects that went badly). for a long time using IGG was kind of seen as almost a red flag because there had to be a reason you weren't just using kickstarter like everyone else, and with crowdfunding projects any uncertainty is perceived as risk

     @aeonofdiscord @terrana this is definitely the kind of thing I wanted to know about, because it does seem a lot less used.

     It definitely has much worse outcomes for the kind of project I want to run, which is not encouraging, but Kickstarter is no longer an option so ... I guess we'll see!

     @terrana it definitely doesn't seem as ewll-branded for creators. :/

     I'm not sure what's shady about it apart from that it didn't used to have 'you only get paid if you fund' but I think that's an option now. I could well be out of the loop though; I've never used it.
