Why did they not say anything until they had run out of money? It must have been obvious from some time ago that they did not have enough left to complete the project, yet they didn't care to tell their backers.
Also, it seems odd that they talk about the problems they've had seeking other investors, as their kickstarter page didn't mention anything about needing more money. Rather, it implied that the $500k raised was all they needed to release the game. So at some point, they realised it wasn't enough and sought more investment, yet couldn't be arsed to post an update to kickstarter about the funding shortfall.
Very poor.
- brokenparser 13y agoIt's even worse than that, I cite: Kickstarter is amazing, but one of the hidden catches is that once you have taken a bunch of people's money to do a thing, you have to actually do that thing You don't say.

His point being that Kickstarter funding makes it hard to pivot, as opposed to other types of funding.
- Wingman4l7 13y agoThe rest of the quote actually gives a poorer impression.
- mcv 13y agoAll kinds of funding come with some sort of commitment. If you want to do something else instead, you talk to your funders. They could have discussed this with their backers, but didn't.
