Not sure I get you right. If by “game” you mean the “mechanism” behind our crowdmatching I do not even acknowledge that the game is different. Everything I consider to be part of the mechanism remains untouched:
- Patrons join, wanting to help to fiance projects.
- Patrons put a certain amount of money on the table.
- Patrons pay part of their money – depending on a success metric.
Staying in that “game” analogy, you’d play the identical game – but then use a different interpretation of the “winning condition” to conclude the games were different.
I’m not arguing the games cannot be compared based on dollar success – I just say the comparison can only be valid if the dollar goal can be fairly represented in a patron goal (which it isn’t if you only change a patron giving more money. You would have to slightly decrease the respective patron goal threshold, and not leave it the same – but absolute accuracy isn’t possible)
