> Kickstarter should be...
According to you. If you don't like it, your gripe is with KS, not Sanderson. And it's pretty common for things to launch their v2, v3 etc on KS even if strictly not needed. It's a hype channel, not an investment channel.
> In Sanderson's case it's just a pre-order where you milk your fans for some extra bucks.
Why so loaded language? It's not milking, it's fan service. People specifically want these extra things. Hence the success of the KS.....
- Kiro 4y agoIt's not about whether I like it or not. It's about people being hypocritical and giving him a pass while criticizing others for doing the same thing. For some reason Sanderson is untouchable.
- matsemann 4y agoWho are being hypocritical? Are you sure it's not different people having different opinions?
- CrazyStat 4y agoIt's not hypocritical at all to support some kickstarters and not others, irrespective of how much money they raise. Sanderson has an established history of delivering books, and people trust him to deliver the promised books. Some random guy without an established reputation is going to encounter much more skepticism. Reputations matter. It's a fact of being human.
