That's odd the first pixate campaign on Kickstarter was for $250k. Did they realize they weren't going to meet it and drop the price? Didn't think Kickstarter

    Yes, they did. Yes, it's all a bit dodgy, especially when you consider $10k of their Kickstarter funding isn't really crowd-sourced at all, coming from Appcelerator (who acquired the Pixate founders' previous company) http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/08/26/is-pixate-astroturfing-kickstarter/ http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/08/26/is-pixate-astroturf...

    Hey Paul, I'm not opposed to anything you've done but just replying with what I believe the general sentiment is that I'm referring to. I understand the reasoning. I think the question was more around the idea that KS campaigns are typically viewed as a one shot deal. It's important to pick your rewards and funding goals accordingly. If you pick them incorrectly you blow your shot. If that's not the case then KS becomes a much less interesting place where people abuse it to raise funds.
