Damn, I didn’t know I was duped. I do wonder how this holds up in countries other than the US.

The reason they ask for donations is because they can pool the donations together, say they’re donating, and then get a tax write off. They are just trying to make free money.

Never seen it described as magazine like but you are 100% right. As a game dev I enjoy twitter-likes for this exact reason. Its very easy to find specific people you want to work with (ie artists, musicians, etc.) and network with them. Its also easier to market and share your game due to the ‘magazine’ like and fast paced nature of these platforms. However I do think twitter-likes suck if you aren’t using it for specific cases like this.
