I think the hole idea of raising money for free via Kickstarter and similar sites is very odd. It feels like high class panhandling to me. Maybe I'm just too proud to ask for money and don't understand why it's so popular. Still, I spend money on some stupid stuff. If the cast of Stargate wanted to make another movie or TV type show, I'd back it. I guess the world is changing and I haven't caught up yet.

Then indie game developers got on board and now celebrities are abusing it. The celebrity thing has gotta be like crack cocaine to Kickstarter. It gets them so much attention and so much money, but ultimately I think it is eroding their brand and building resentment.
