Caveat emptor.
A rule of thumb I learned from my parents long ago is when you see something you want to have, wait two weeks. If you still want it in two weeks, and can afford it, then buy it. I suspect a little bit of waiting and research would have informed these backers to the potential disaster that was coming. I remember this kickstarter and I thought it was a joke, but the fans don't want to hear that.

To an 18 year old $0.5 mil sounds like a lot of money and it would seem like it should be possible to make 3 games with that much but they don't understand how quickly it can get swallowed up because they have limited experience with the business world.
