Make My MMO: August 10 - August 16, 2014

By Jef Reahard

It's all quiet on the MMO crowdfunding front, at least for the week ending August 16th, 2014. The only changes from last week's edition are a couple of Star Citizen-related news items. They took the form of a new 10 for the Chairman episode and a quartet of spiffy new videos direct from Gamescom.

The rest of our MMO crowdfunding roundup is just past the break.
