The escape hatch is either you going bankrupt and/or refunding people, sure. Not much of an escape hatch, really. Also, if you endorse and support something like this and it fails your reputation takes a hit.
I don't think it's a big deal when it comes to luxuries like that. Also, I like kickstarter for supporting people who do cool stuff they can't finance any other way. I really don't care if they fail or not too much since I don't spend much money on it. (Hey, and for me personally it has always worked out so far.)
- sanderjd 12y agoMaybe we need a Kickstarter competitor that is a lot more clear in its marketing that backing a project is a donation to people making something you think is cool, with those people sending you something as thanks if they are able to. I get so frustrated with the perception of Kickstarter as a pre-pay store and Kickstarter's inability or unwillingness to change that perception.
