Kickstarter is a very popular way for Indie (and some not-so-Indie) game developers to raise money to fund their games. Some work, many don’t, and it’s in the news constantly. We even get press releases advertising Kickstarters (which seems odd… if they can’t afford to develop a game, how can they afford to hire a PR firm to try to drum up business for them? I digress…)

Once in a while, though, a Kickstarter comes across as a straight-up good deal, and we’ll look at this one as such.

If you Kickstart the development of Defense Grid 2, Hidden Path’s sequel to their (admittedly awesome) Defense Grid, at the $106 level, you will not only get a copy of DG2 when it comes out, but you’ll get two AMD Radeon HD 6770 GPUs and a copy of Defense Grid. They’re not super high-end cards, but if they’re put into a Crossfire-supporting system, it’s actually not a bad deal at all.

It’s bizarre, AMD and Hidden Path have worked out some kind of deal to make this possible. It helps Hidden Path make their game and it helps AMD move low-tier, old GPU inventory.

At any rate, if you want two Radeon HD 6770s and Defense Grid 2, chip in $106 here.
