Reinstate our teammates now!
Kickstarter is retaliating against our union members for our legally-protected strike action in October 2025.
Four union members have been laid off or forced to leave our union by leadership, despite clear business needs for these members' roles.
Email Kickstarter's CEO and tell him this is illegal and unacceptable!

I've announced a stretch goal for Aqua Tofana. I will be donating 50% of any proceeds over $1000 to the WINGS Program supporting survivors of domestic violence.

If you want to join me in supporting them, you can learn more about their program: wingsprogram.com

Coming soon: Obelisk: Realms In Peril

Ok, I think the Obelisk prelaunch page on Kickstarter has enough minimal content to make it worth sharing around!

Why not get notified when we're live (sometime next year)?

During one of the biggest marketing pushes I've ever had, itch has decided to not let people purchase my game.
I will likely hand out plenty of business cards at PAX U. And people can't buy my game.
This is extremely frustrating and disheartening.

Kickstarter United is on strike! We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.
