Here's a video damning Fig as a poor investment, and not being too kind to Tim Schafer. It goes in depth into the complex company structure, and concludes that you will likely never see a cent of return. Not that it would matter much to people who just want to support Tim and a sequel to Psychonauts, but Schafer's track record under crowdfunding so far makes that a question mark too, plus the Fig convolutions apparently mean that while the game creation may be funded, the game publishing may not. Interesting listen. If you're short on time, skip to 16:30, and get the meatier details later.
Edit: A couple of salient details:
- The company that investors are putting money into is the publishing company. The game-funding company is a separate legal entity.
- The publishing company (where your money goes) is insolvent, with much greater liabilities than assets.
