It seems Kickstarter should allow people to set a maximum number of donations and cut it off after that. It they could have handled building/wanted to build 50 machines, but not 5000, they should be able to set an upper limit on the number of backers to their project to prevent runaways like this.
- lazerwalker 12y agoKickstarter does allow this. Rewards such as physical hardware are associated with specific reward tiers, and individual reward tiers are allowed to (and frequently do) have hard limits.
- on_and_off 12y agoKickstarter allows this (and allowed it when the campaign was created). They should definitely have limited the scope to what they had envisioned first. They would have still mismanaged the project, but problems would probably not have snowballed so far.
