Kickstarter Not Built for Ouya Failure.. Sort of.

[Fix Me]

I don't see how someone can not understand that.

I too fail to see how everyone that donates money to Kickstarters don't understand it's a risk. I think that's quite obvious.

Perhaps some think it is pre-ordering a game, though even then, I would think it is very clear that this is not the case.

While simple, many people don't understand their money is gone and they get nothing if the project fails.

Or if the game is just crap, they don't get a refund.

Ya, however that is a risk on all games. I've purchased more than a few commercial titles that I wish I could send back .

To me it does not matter, as a kick starter you have ventured into the world of venture capitol, you recieve no insurance in that game.

I have only donated to 2 Kickstarters because of the whole what if in the end there is nothing. The 2 I contributed to are Wasteland 2. I mean look at who is making it. Brian Fargo has a proven track record. I am $75 into Wasteland 2.

The other project I contributed to is Girl Meets Bike which is a movie about a young female shop teacher and her buying her first motorcycle (with her wedding dress money). I actually met the director and the lead actress at a local motorcycle event (The Bearded Lady Motorcycle Freak Show). The director is local to where I live, the filming was done locally and finished he just needed money for post production. This will also be the directors 7th feature film. A local University has students helping with the post production for sub title translations. I am $55 into Girl Meets Bike.

In both of these cases I am highly confident I will receive the finished work that I have contributed towards. If not I am out two tanks of gas. Big deal. Would be interesting in dealing with AMEX for a charge back for non delivery but with how AMEX is that could happen.

wait... how long have you been on this planet?

I can't wait to see folks here bitch and moan when stuff they helped kickstart gets released as some kind of foul odor. I still get a chuckle from when Rage came out; are all those pre-orderers still butt hurt over that one? Such silliness sure does "kickstart" my mornings

It's a charity. Are you going to open a lawsuit against the cancer research foundation and demand a refund if they don't find a cure for cancer?
