Why crowdfunding?
“I like to buy things that I can play with.”

“There’s definitely a sense of community . . . some sort of responsibility [to support].”

Why NOT crowdfunding?

Some key engaging elements.
What else could be engaging?
Games!
“A game is an opportunity to focus our energy, with relentless optimism, at something we’re good at (or getting better at) and enjoy. In other words, gameplay is the direct emotional opposite of depression.”
