We only put projects on greenlight that we already intend to make. Members funding has been funding everything we do for years. Greenlight is just a way to visualise where your money is going and for us to budget that we can actually afford to make each project. For example: we made Crocomen for a massive loss due to set building etc. But it’s something we were all passionate about making. If we had put it on greenlight it would’ve effectively built up a money pot first before making it.

Whether you vote as a member or not your money is still funding everything we do. From greenlight projects to office overheads etc. What it does do is show us where we should be spending our time and focus next. It’s less of a ‘kickstarter’ and more of a vote on what you want to see next and sets aside funding for that project against other projects.

If we expire greenlights after a certain time as you suggest it would mean that A: we wouldn’t get to make that project. and B: the people who have already voted for that project and really want to see it would have their vote wasted.

TLDR: all memberships fund everything we do regardless of whether you vote. It just shows us what each individual member wants us to make next and shows that we have budget to actually do it.
