I think the problem though is that projects can end up "scammy" even if they aren't outright scams. If a project makes very ambitious promises, and upon getting the funds, the developers don't put forth much effort and deliver a bug-ridden, lackluster product, it might not technically be a scam. But it will sure feel like one to contributors, and I think Kickstarter is going to increasingly run into this problem in the future.
- lotu 14y agoI don't know about that. One of the big selling points of the Double Fine, and Shadowrun campaigns was that it was a established team with a reputation for making good games. Also, say you do raise $100K and produce a lousy product, your not going to find funding for you next project. You can actually see this already as some projects are now on their second or third campaign.
