Topic summary
Fig (company)

Fig was a crowdfunding platform for video games. It launched in August 2015. Unlike traditional crowdfunding approaches like Kickstarter, where individuals can back a project to receive rewards, Fig used a mixed model that included individual backing and the opportunity for uncredited investors to invest as to obtain a share of future revenues for successful projects. At the end of 2017 four projects had begun generating returns, returning 245% to Fig investors.
Fig was acquired by Republic in 2022, and later liquidated into the parent company in May 2023.
