BitPulse

BitPulse We write about crowdfunded, early access video games and the people that make them. We're here for e The games industry is evolving.

The advent of early access offers and crowdfunding has changed the way developers do business. As games begin to go on sale earlier in the development process, it is up to the games media to help consumers make informed decisions about their investments and purchases. That’s who we are and what we aim to do. Gamers are no longer just customers, they’re also investors looking to support interesting

game ideas and development studios. Any smart investor would have a slew of questions before they depart with their money, and we’re here to ask those questions and seek those answers. We cover everything related to crowdfunded gaming and the business of the games industry. We are open to cover any crowdfunded gaming project or developer, but we expect transparency and accountability, as any investor would.
