Both good points. Not that I'd fund one anyway, but when you have a developer that could easily have or round up the funding for a project due to their own personal history (not even necessarily gaming based) they shouldn't be panhandling aggressively like this to get a game going, especially when things can shake out that'll just tick off the funding parties as it could be a sign of a screw you to early buyers into a project and a promise. This, Mighty 09, Iga's SOTN knockoff, they didn't need this. Aggressive media blitzing and classic sources of loans/funding from publishers or investors could have brought forth such games. I think it's fair one could argue as blown out as they were funded some of the additions probably wouldn't have happened, but the base game and much involved in it would have. Kickstarters should be set for the home project, the dude with a vision going out on their own who couldn't get the loan, the backing from another entity.
