So we are getting hats?! Does everyone who donated get them or only those that backed when it was supposed to be part of the deal?
All hats exclusive for those that supported the IGG? The salt would be too delicious, but probably not going to happen. Labzero stands to benefit more if they have
some exclusive items rewarded to IGG funders and also other TF2 items offered for post-IGG pre-orders.
This is my guess on how it will work:
Those who donated $30 and above during IGG, to reward those who helped the indie GO GO fund:
- Exclusive Leviathan and Big Band item
Those who pre-order Skullgirls in any form after IGG (Post-IGG such as Humble store and Steam) ($30 and above Igg funders get this too since it's retroactive):
- Regular item promos: Peacock item, Fillia item, other SG items (if there are more planned)
So basically:
$30 and above IGG funder = IGG exclusive items promised + regular item promos
Everyone else who pre-orders after IGG = regular item promos
Exclusive hats through kickstarters have been done before, Oculus Rift kickstarter gave out exclusive hats for those that helped donate. So it isn't out of the ordinary.
Plus there was that promise from LabZero to still try to get in those planned exclusives for IGG funders. So I think rewarding those who helped with IGG funding with some exclusives
plus regular pre-order SG items would be the best way to reward IGG funders and profit out of those who pre-order later.
I think that would be the smart move, but I'm sure Ravidrath will divulge the pertinent information on how this all works when the time is near
