Kickstarter Campaign and Free Apps Policy Change
May 18, in the year of our Lord 2013 – Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games has made an important policy change in
terms of coverage. Effective immediately coverage of Kickstarter
Campaigns and Free Apps will cease. The excessively high volume
of these two have reached alarming levels. The selfishness, lack
of thanks, and lack of community from Kickstarter Campaigns and
Free Apps has driven this important policy change.
The new policy does leave the door open for a few rare
exceptions. If the editorial staff finds great value in a
Kickstarter campaign or free app they are allowed one coverage
item. Examples of coverage items are press releases, news story,
updated news story, link, preview, review, screenshots, and videos.
The second exception is if the company represented in the
Kickstarter campaign or Free App is an up to date advertiser
with Family Friendly Gaming. The final exception is if the
company or PR firm pays a small portion of the Family Friendly
Gaming production costs. Up to date pricing can be found
here.
“My hubby works really hard helping so many people,” Art
Director Yolanda Bury said. “Too many people are abusing that
kindness to the point he is exhausted every single day and only
gets through a small portion of the requests. This will separate
out the ultra selfish from those who are willing to put some
skin the game.”
UPDATE {10/28/2013}: This also encompasses Indiegogo, any crowd
funding website, free browser games, free PC games, and free
games on any other system.
