Frankly, I think this is a great direction, not only for indie game developers, but for game consumers. Now we kind of have a "pick n' choose" type thing, where we can have a person investment in, and we have a minor say in what types of games we'd like to see in the market. If we don't like it, don't invest. If you do, then invest what you wish.
I'm interested to see if any really big name companies try something like this.
Thought it was interesting and worth sharin'
