it has potential
but as of now, I only know of one game that has reached completion: FTL
give 3 more GOOD games and I'll start to be more optimistic and participate
but listening too much to fans is just as destructive
because fans themselves often to do not realize what they like about a particular game,
and they often have trouble phrasing it to the game developers.
also sometimes fans just want a copy and paste of what they like about a game, but with updated graphics and sound.
that's boring

It can’t treat one group differently from another.” Malcolm Gladwell
