Intent isn't relevant. Either send people what they fucking paid for or send people their money back.
Donation, yes. It's always amused me when I see people trying to act tough on Kickstarter pages. You're not an investor, and if you want to be then you should find a proper company to put your money in, not a starving artist.Just don't do kickstarters, it's not healthy
This. It's basically an investment where your only potential upside is that the thing gets made and maybe you get some stuff like a copy or a shirt out of it. It should never be viewed as a proper store because a lot of this shit never comes to fruition, even when it isn't out of fraudulent or malicious intent. It's more like a quasi-donation - a form of patronage in a more traditional meaning that didn't necessarily imply any guaranteed return.
As a result, unless you're super passionate about something being made, such as it's something that isn't getting delivered anywhere else, and can afford to watch the money burn in front of you, you really shouldn't contribute to them.
EDIT: I think this general realization and the poor success rate of game Kickstarters is why that medium seems to have mostly dried up.
Same. If I ever do a KS for a game (unlikely, but if), I'll offer no physical rewards. If you want a T-shirt with my game's logo on it, just go on a special website and order it. Don't make me do it, I got a game to make.I've never cared for the physical/backer rewards aspect of crowdfunding, though.
My wife buys makeup products and stockings on my amazon account. Would Exo conclude that I'm a transsexual? This is beyond retarded.on an Amazon wishlist (I wonder what I could say from his browser's history)
Autism.Again, what the fuck is in the guy's head.

And even if the wishlist belongs to the account owner, eating habits are not something you change at the snap of fingers, especially if they help you cope with an already difficult life. And how the fuck is this Exo's concern? He thinks because he backed a game on kickstarter, he's entitled to nutritional demands to the game creator? Again, what the fuck is in the guy's head.
Didn't watch the video, but maybe you should. Depending on what's in there, it may be worth reporting it to try and get it removed or involve a more serious response.I have an Amazon wishlist?? I don’t even know about this… he talks about that? Christ I gotta check that… I have fucking kids….

Edit: holy fuck, I didn’t even realize that was public… wtf… that’s some low shit. I mean…. I’m kinda speechless.
If you are healthy enough to post here, then you are healthy enough to make the few clicks to send people their money back for items you never sent.

We're OK with calling you a cunt for harassing a seriously ill poor person over a cardboard box.So you guys are okay with it when Kickstarter campaign creators don't deliver as promised?
It's called investing for a reason. It has a risk of failure.So you guys are okay with it when Kickstarter campaign creators don't deliver as promised?

Did you not see the part where a GAME was actually created and released to ALL THE BACKERS as well as some people getting their physical rewards? Again, I'm a boxed copy nut but as Grauken stated above it's just a "useless box" if the game is vaporware, vastly different than first described or total crap. Since your in the Adventure Game forum you probably like adventure games so might I suggest you should try the Quest for Infamy/Order of the Thorne game. It's a throwback Sierra style game that, while not perfect, is quite good.So you guys are okay with it when Kickstarter campaign creators don't deliver as promised?
I honestly had a couple of Kickstarters or similar campaigns on other portals where I gave some extra money for the box, never got them and still was entirely satisfied due to getting the game and how the game turned out. What stopped me from doing kickstarters were the scammers who never delivered and couldn't even admit their fault or those who delivered something that was not what they promised.Did you not see the part where a GAME was actually created and released to ALL THE BACKERS as well as some people getting their physical rewards?
