Game re-worker!
Phage says Grimoire...
Sadly, Broken Age. Tim dangled the promise of Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle in front of me and I shoved my money across the table.
Related: I regret NOT giving to Serpent in the Staglands.
DOS2 was my last KS, I will never back a KS again.

That one adventure game, that had some really fucking cool art, and we even did a news post for it. I forget the name of it, and then we discovered the guy developing it was never going to release it at all, and make some pseudo updates once in a while to keep the illusion he is still going to make the game. Grimiore will be released before this game will...
Lesson learned. I didn't give him that much money thankfully.

Jack Houston and the Necronauts?
Of that list the Banner Saga, because I enjoyed it the least. I don't really *regret* any of them though, since in my mind all of it serves the higher purpose of increasing the probability we'll get good games in the future -- although Avellone and friends having been playing awesome RPGs since the 80s, the majority of the talent grouped beneath them grew up on action games and tablet crap. It takes a long time to raise a new generation of developers to RPG understanding.

I know this is just your personal opinion, which, of course, you have every right to express, but I must say this is a rather strange response coming from someone who works at a studio that was basically saved from bankruptcy by a KSed project.
Can you elaborate on your aversion to KS?
I completely understand that many people feel they've been burned by it too many times (and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to problems with the way KS works), but you wouldn't consider pledging even to some future projects by tried and true gentlemen such as Whalenought_Joe, Pyke or Blackthorne?
Even Neal Stephenson gave people their money back when CLANG failed and they'd spent all of their money.
They did offer refunds in the update. AFAIK nobody had their refunds denied. I got mine with no questions asked, for instance.Even Neal Stephenson gave people their money back when CLANG failed and they'd spent all of their money.
Only to a couple dozen people who asked for them; they never offered them. Better than nothing I guess, but still kind of sucks looking at the names attached and the final product (utter garbage they just threw out there because they ran out of money).

By combing through comment threads and emails we have identified around two dozen CLANG backers who have asked for refunds. Those have already been processed; those people have their money back (about $700 altogether).

No, they said in an update that they had already provided refunds to the two dozen people who requested them:

I guess people just didn't expect to get one or didn't bother. As I said, they didn't ask a thing when I requested mine.Subutai Corporation on December 15, 2014
It's been nearly three months since this last update, and I'm officially closing the door on any more refunds. A couple have trickled in over the last week or so, and we'll honor them.

I'm a filthy liar... I backed Bard's Tale IV... I don't remember if it was after my promise.

I didn't mean to imply anything is wrong with Kickstarter, there may actually be something wrong - I don't know. For me, it doesn't make financial sense for anymore, what with having a kid, and already having hundreds of games that I probably won't get to play before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
I see now how what I wrote might seem subversive, but I was just trying to be assertive.

Oh man. Right in the feels with this one...
