    When Double Fine presented fans with a Kickstarter to fund a new adventure game, the goal was reached in a matter of hours.

    Have you ever seen a game on Steam and thought to yourself, "wow! This looks terrible! I never would have let this on here?" Or for that matter heard about a developer whose title was rejected from Valve's popular download service, all the while knowing it deserved a chance?

    Whether you're a gaming purist or not, there's no denying the numbers: the iOS platform is the world's most popular platform for playing videogames. Most hardcore gamers shrug this statement off with a few of their own, claiming things like "iOS can't deliver real immersive experiences on that small screen" and "touch screen controls are severely limiting".

    Money is a lot of things. If old expressions are to be believed, it makes the world go 'round, is the root of all evil, and can't buy you happiness. And, if you follow the haunting statistics provided by the Kicked Out! project, some of these statements aren't so far from the truth.
