QuarterCade launching Indiegogo Campaign October 21

(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

I’m excited to let you know that QuarterCade, the affordable gaming PC/console hybrid, will be launching its Indiegogo campaign on October 21st.

QuarterCade delivers the power of a PC with the simplicity of a console, giving players access to thousands of games — from modern blockbusters to timeless classics — right out of the box. Priced at just $349.99, it makes quality gaming more accessible than ever, with support for USB and Bluetooth controllers, modding, and custom graphics settings.

Unlike locked ecosystems, costly subscriptions, or proprietary accessories, QuarterCade prioritizes freedom. You can install the software you want, customize your setup, and keep your favorite titles playable for years. Compact yet powerful, it’s built for gamers who want more choice, more value, and fewer limits.

This project is led by DJ Jones (AKA Last BeNeVoLeNcE) — indie game developer, hip-hop artist, and GRAMMYs Recording Academy member. Having self-funded multiple creative projects, he created the QuarterCade to prove that gaming should be for players, not corporations. By backing the campaign, you’re not only getting your own console — you’re supporting indie creators in building a more affordable, community-driven future for gaming.

Key Details:

• Price: Starting at $349.99
• Perks for Backers: early-bird discounts, digital rewards, collector tops (custom resin art with bold, unique designs), and hardware upgrades (Pro processor, NVMe SSD, and expanded storage).
• Made-to-Order: every unit is built once backed — no waiting for large production runs.
• Slim Margins: on a base unit, only ~$30 goes to the creator, but scaling lowers costs and broadens access.
• More Than a Console: preserving games (old and new) while proving small teams can innovate where big companies won’t.
• Shipping: managed transparently through Indiegogo at checkout, with fulfillment by the team. International costs (tariffs, VAT, fees) are paid by backers, but clear updates and tracking are guaranteed.
