This is why I've never pledged any money on Kickstarter or any equivalent site. It's too easy to make something look too good to be true in an age of CGI and clever pitches. I'm all for micro-financing, but the way I see sites like Kickstarter as just another way to get around the known regulations for financing (some which seem dumb, but some that are very effective imo). If folks really want to help creators and artists make cool stuff then I suggest do your homework and give directly to those people (and avoid Kickstarter).
