Beggars on Indiegogo

[leomtg]

I was following-up on the Indiegogo project that Linus talked about on the WAN show.

I forgot their name (Innovision Gaming), so I searched for "gaming computer" on Indiegogo and found THREE pages of people wanting everyone else to buy them a gaming computer for no good reason.

Why are there so many beggars on Indiegogo and why do they expect ANYONE to give them any money?

Wow, i get to be on this guys Skype and Steam friends list for the bargin price of 25$. And as the icing on the cake he will also thank me 

 

Edit Ok, so I tried to make this guys build on PCPartPicker http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1vgnz. They are not 100% the same, but essentialli he is asking for 280$ more than the system is worth

Because it's a "easy" way to make money if you succeed making a good text that will attract attention. Gladly none of them have contributors.

Ohh the humanity, but most peeps there are kids who try their luck, but lets be frankly with -0.1% chance. At least noone gave a cent for it.

[ConfusedDolphin]

On one of them says that if you pay extra then you can join a skype call with him....

[legopc]

so that means that you pay for someones computer...

Dont believe any of the finished even 15 years old. Since there are CoC with church in it i have to stop myself from going to far with jokes this time. All are from US, but the horror there is even one from my country - goddamnit :/ Well time to dig a 3m deep hole and go to his city/town.

It dont hurt, but will him when i find him. Damn little troll should be playing football or chasing girl when its summer. Gonna make him the summer of 1348. Didnt though "my kind" would reach soo far in the internet. There is only one other dude on this forum from my country and i tend to avoid him. Hes same as kryptonite to superman.

lol, oh god

I love it how there is so many of them yet not a single one of them got even a cent before the funding ended. Then begging for money for something like that is another thing. I'd rather earn the money myself and have the satisfaction that I managed to get it myself which would make the product even more enjoyable to use (at least in my perspective). People can be so naive...

[Ookami]

But since little kids can do it - lets make project on that site and get donations for Titan for DezeltheIntern :P

[Bicko96]

you cant even joke like that because you know we would do it ;) w would probably get him a titan and a quadro 6000

Hell why not do it then - i would gladly add 10-20 bucks. Payday coming soooooon.

How adults fund gaming computer:

Get brain -> Fill brain with knowledge -> Use knowledge to earn money -> Use money to fund gaming computer 

[MzCatieB]

welll.... this was stupid

[Hans Christian | Teri]

Wow that is pathetic.

[NinjaStyle013]

I'm actually gunna start a tech channel with a separate gaming channel, once a month I was thinking of doing a crowdfunded pc project then giving it away to the community.....
