I have a crazy proposition for you all: What about to a big pledge as a group? You might ask why, well, reasons are simple - Bigger pledge and REVENUE SHARE. Again, you might ask why and what for. I'm certain, there are people like me that want to pledge more then €250 but they won't do it from practical reasons. Personally, I would pledge €1000 (maybe €1500) but I just won't do this because of no practical gain. If we pledge as a group, we will gain Revenue Share witch we can use for funding things as web hosting, MP ecosystem for old Nexus TJI and such things and the rest of Revenue Share would be divided to pledgers respectively.

Thoughts?

jstubbles:
I already pledged 250. I suppose I can always cancel that. But I'd like to hear from the company on weather or not we can pledge as a group like that. I don't know if that will fly. It's sort of like cheating :P 
I mean, if 500 people got together and each gave 5e, that's 2500. So those 500 people would get producer status and a cut of the profit? What happens if lots of people were to do that? Your profit would dwindle to absolutely nothing.

Arparso:
Yeah, well... with the current system in place one guy would have to actually make the pledge on his own receiving the producer credit and his cut of the profit. He'd then distribute the money to the other participants, who paid him prior to this.

Don't know if it's worth the hassle. You also need to keep in mind, that "platinum fans" only get money, IF the game turns out to make a profit... meaning it has to cover production and distribution costs first before actually generating any kind of money for you. If you then divide this by a whole bunch of people who joined forces for a platinum pledge, each individual may very well end up only making a tiny sum, if anything at all.

Btw, I find it kind of funny, that - hypothetically - if there were only one platinum fan and a few thousands of gold, silver and so on... that this one guy would still receive 50% of the profit all by his own. :D

I'm just not sure how well Nexus 2 is going to sell with all the hardcore fans already receiving their free copy because of their pledge. The first Nexus didn't do too well, after all.

/edit:
Another problem: how'd you collect the money for the platinum pledge from all participants? You could end up in one of at least three bad situations:

a) make the pledge now and collect the money later, when your PayPal account actually gets charged... but what if some participants refuse to pay up?

b) you collect the money before actually making the pledge, but the person collecting the money runs off with it...

c) you collect the money before making the pledge, but the project doesn't reach its 400.000€ goal. Now you gotta pay back the money... with all the stupid transaction fees for PayPal or other money transfer methods, this amounts to an effective loss of money for everyone, defeating the otherwise risk-free nature of this crowdfunding system

GeoModder:
I'll have to rush creating a PayPal account to get my lucky number.  :o
