Agreed. I don't understand how they can not give anything at all to all the people who poured money into their kickstarted. What does it say about crowdfundin

- coldpie 11y agoThat contributing money to an unfinished product is a risk, and that you may never see the result you expected from your investment. Which is exactly what everyone should have known before contributing. Weighing a team's experience and ability should be a major factor in deciding whether to back a project.
- micampe 11y agoIt says that people don't understand what Kickstarter is: you are investing in a project, not buying a product. Investments carry risk.
- dudul 11y agoTrue, but seriously the "we have everything ready in our basement but you can't get it cause we can't buy stamps" is f-ing lame. And as the previous poster mentioned, how do you not put this money aside to reward people who gave you money?
- markus2012 11y agoI don't think it's lame. It sounds like they are living through a train-wreck moving in slow motion that will last a few months - and perhaps much longer.
- s73v3r 11y agoYou're not even investing, though. Investment implies a share of the company.

- avalaunch 11y agoYou're thinking of a very specific type of investment. Investment in the more generic form simply means putting in time, money, and/or effort in the hopes of some future reward. In this case, you're investing money in the hopes of a future reward that you preselected.
