Funding the Dream

EP 265 Aldo talks Gloomhaven strategy for distribution

Richard Bliss, Aldo Ghiozzi
Gloomhaven is crushing it on Kickstarter. But not everyone is happy. Aldo Ghiozzi and I discuss the distribution channel and discounting.Many retailers and distributors have vocalized their frustration with Gloomhaven apparently taking all their customers by having tens of thousands of backers buy the game on Kickstarter.Is this a fair assessment? Aldo and I talk about it.Also, who is going to pay $140 for a game? We discuss the increasing price of so many games and the apparent willingness of gamers to hand over the money.
