I hate the whole concept of creative content being owned by people who don't give a fuck about it. Unfortunately, the industry is set up in a way that if you don't play along, you financially cripple yourself big time, more than most can handle.
And creators who are aware of this problematic are very serious about keeping all rights for themselves.
One example would be Frank Zappa. Fellow musicians often criticized him for being a fascist in the studio/on tours, but they didn't realize he was backing it all with his own money, rather than letting a publisher decide what happens with the music. He carried all the weight, so he was the one making demands - and the demands were of artistic nature, not commercial.
Kickstarters are not really a solution, you just replace investors by backers who expect you to be their bitch and fulfill every wish, no matter how inconsistent the result would be. Who are you to refuse a $100 backer who wants to be a dragon?
You don't use Fallout engine, you use FOnline engine which is created by cvet & his devs so why the bethsitta f*ck to you??!
