Kickstarter backers aren't happy with not getting the full campaign they thought they already paid for

Understandable they are pissed. Paying in advance for games not yet made is a fucking scam, develop your shit and convince me with a finished, polished product.

I'm also sceptical of the bunch of promotional fluff in that link, that generally means less substance more bullshit in a game.

    Bit unfair to call crowd funding a fucking scam

    Without crowd funding there's just games made by big publishers and the occasional indie company that is started by someone already loaded

    Looking at how Abiotic Factor and Pillars of Eternity did it, it can be done right and not be a scam. But it's tough to guess which project won't end up like this mess.
