I mean it's portraits and statues, and you work with the artist and devs for all that stuff, seems like work they would be doing anyways and now it gives community engagement
Its more than that. If you go to the tiers youll see gods, nymphs, and major npc roles all available to backers to buy the right to create.
If it’s “use my name a likeness, maybe my voice work,” I’m not mad, it’s people paying to do stuff the devs would need to pay someone else to do instead. If it’s “I have some ideas how this story should go” I’d be a bit more concerned.
Still not really out of the ordinary for Kickstarter, or collaborative world building in general, at least the ttrpg games I'm in. And, still, the devs work with you on that stuff. Yeah I suppose it's not a pure product, but I imagine there won't be anything actually out of whack design wise when it releases.
