couldn't agree more. I don't understand why mega productions (in the scheme of things) that are effectively pre-orders as Project Eternity are OK while other categories as home improvement or fitness gadgets are shunned upon. There is a complete lack of transparency & coherence to Kickstarter's red lines.
I understand that they see themselves as more of a substitute to the national endowment of arts than what effectively they are becoming, a crowd-funding VC (minus ceding equity or IP, even better for the creators) , but they should just embrace where their backers are taking them. Whether it's funding arts or hardware projects, there is plenty of "Good" in removing friction from the entrepreneurial process. Both are noble missions & anything that enlarges the pool of backers to the site should be welcomed with both hands.
