Yeah, I don't gamble. I'm willing to commit to kickstarter because I'll get my money back if the thing falls through.
But whenever they say my money will go towards a discount (or a charity) if the deal fails, I never go for it.
I'm not sure I've ever seen one succeed in that situation, actually.
- davidu 15y agoWhat? You get your money back with Kickstarter? I've never heard of that... I'm pretty sure I've lost a few hundred bucks on failed kick-starters... I mean, they meet the goal, but the person never delivers.
- ceejayoz 15y agoYou get your money back if they don't meet their fundraising goal.
- wccrawford 15y agoWell yeah, if the person doesn't deliver, you've helped fund them, but get nothing back. That's why kickstarter projects aren't supposed to supply actual value for the pledge. A lot of the latest one offer the product as a bonus, but don't tell you that you won't get the product if they fail.
- davidu 15y agoOh, I see. I guess I've only backed products or software or things where there was a deliverable... even a book once!
