Are you talking about Broken Age? What was the problem? You got an excellent documentary about the realities of game development, the full game, and whatever additional rewards you pledged for. If the issue is that the game was split into two parts, I have very little sympathy for that, since you still got the documentary, and got the full game. You also received both halves of the game for your original pledge amount. Games take time and effort to develop and sometimes there are delays.

I was a backer and although I didn't get into the game, it was easily worth it for the documentary alone.

Documentary was pretty unique. And now it's free!

The kickstarter campaign was a mess. The product was delayed a lot, it was way over budget, and this was not the first time Schafer pulled one of this stunts only to finally produce a game that many backers disliked (myself included). There are many articles that explain the kickstarter fiasco better than me, if you need more details.

  Spot on. I was waiting for years for this game. To be honest I didn't back it on kickstarter, but I bought it when the first chapter got out. It was soooo bad, that I didn't even bother to play the second chapter. 2nd experience: I bought Grim Fandango remastered version. Oh my god, what a smart money-grab move from Mr. Schafer. The game still had a notorious bug, present even in the original version, where you could lose an inventory item(your scythe basically) and you couldn't move forward. Only solution was to load from a previous point. I had to replay 1-2 hours work of game, so I gave up. As I'm saying all this... I'm gonna buy this remastered game also. Simply because Tim Schafer knows that he can manipulate me via my childhood memories and get away with it. Oh well.
