I like how everyone here is bashing a guy for just attempting to make a kickstarter. If you think his product is so silly then just don't support it plain and simple. Not everyone is money hungry and just trying manipulate the masses. Seems like a regular dude that came up with an idea that he thinks is good and is trying to get funding for it instead of going through/dealing with a bank. I thought that was one of the reasons kickstarter was even made. To try and convince people and SELL your product and get people to invest. He's asking, not demanding. And to everyone including the author of this article with no sense of humor, when you're playing your console, are not sitting inside? As gamers do we not sit inside and play games for hours without actually going outside the whole day? I know I have, especially if it's a good game. It seemed like an innocent joke that the author of this article got way to self conscious over. For something a pillow could do, 75 bucks is a little steep, but if I'm playing in the living room and don't want to get a pillow from my room then I could see myself using this. Plus it looks a little sturdier than a pillow with more support so your elbows don't just sink in like with a pillow. And if don't want to get the pillow I use for sleeping dirty or bring it out to the living room this would be practical. Plus me/letting my friends put their dirty ass elbows and hands on a pillow I could possibly put my face in doesn't sit well with me. That being said, I don't think its actually necessary to have one of this to play games but if he were to make it more affordable I'd get one.
