having never played Wasteland before i'll just wait until the game actually comes out. they already have the 2 million anyways.. 

haha i pledged usd15 too.

hopefully the game will be steamworks and our copy can be activated in steam later on haha.

I'm pretty sure steam is already a confirmed platform. Brian Fargo mentioned that people who pledge will be able to beta test the game on steam prior to release.

but i thought that only applies to people who pledged a higher amount?

i pledged 15. can't wait to see good ol' days true sequel to top down isometric game instead of retarded release such as fallout 3, syndicate and xcom.

Hmm... I'm not really familiar with that term 

So, will Wasteland 2 camera be similar to Fallout 1?

Or is it exactly 90 degrees at the top?

Electronic Arts has announced that it will start inviting funded Kickstarter projects to their digital distribution service Origin. The first game that will be on the service is Brian Fargo's Wasteland 2. Fargo stresses that it will not be an Origin exclusive, however.

According to EA senior VP David DeMartini, “The public support for crowd-funding creative game ideas coming from small developers today is nothing short of phenomenal. It’s also incredibly healthy for the gaming industry.

"Gamers around the world deserve a chance to play every great new game, and by waiving distribution fees on Origin we can help make that a reality for successfully crowd-funded developers.”

“I have had a long relationship with EA and it is great to see them recognize and support the crowd-funded games model,” Fargo wrote in his own press statement, “Having Origin waive their distribution fees for 90 days for fan funded games is a major economic bonus for small developers. We look forward to bringing Wasteland 2 to the Origin audience.”

EA's waiving of the fee for completed Kickstarter projects makes Origin a more attractive option for indie developers than other services that do charge distribution fees, like Steam.
