I have a hard time believing they're going to find a lawyer willing to take on a class action case over $170k in damages and a defendant that is probably broke.

IANAL but you probably want to incorporate before posting on Kickstarter to protect yourself from backer lawsuits if things go south.
- georgemcbay 14y agoNot only that but it seems like they could fulfill a lot of the tiers of rewards pretty easily. Just release "Code Hero" in whatever its current state is. Is it just 5k of useless spaghetti code? Well, as per the standards set by the rest of the software industry, no claims were made about suitability of purpose! Enjoy your game! And then they could follow through with the minimum possible effort on the rest of the mostly vaguely worded rewards. The most problematic reward is the $42 one with 1217 backers because it promises a physical box and USB stick, but you could get those pretty cheaply, much cheaper than the $51,114 of the total that represents.
- drizzo4shizzo 14y agoRelease the code. The backers are the code heroes. They can fix it. That's the game.
- detst 14y agoyou probably want to incorporate before posting on Kickstarter (IANAL) Perhaps but if someone claims you acted fraudulently, you're still going to have to defend it; and, if the claim is validated, likely offer no protection.
