I don't like the idea because it's lending value to the argument that Kickstarter is a retail pre-order service. It isn't. People pledging money for projects need to understand that there are many factors of risk involved.
- brd 12y agoThe spirit of kickstarter is not a pre-order service but ultimately that is how many projects (this one included) leverage it. Even Kickstarter has admitted this via the changes they've made to their policy in regard to product based campaigns. I certainly would agree that chargebacks are an inappropriate response as a blanket statement for dealing with kickstarters but in cases where the campaign is widely successfully and marketed primarily as a means to pre-order I see nothing wrong it.
