>he donated +$10 for an unreleased game to have his name in small writing

i was in the minority back then warning people that no publishers/contracts etc. will be a bad thing because devs are lazy assholes who won't work without a publisher hounding them

Yea Forums laughed at me and happily backed games

The game is on its way though?

>devs are lazy assholes who won't work without a publisher hounding them
no, indie devs just have no experience managing and have a loose grasp on how to structure development
publishers are leeches who are only good at cancelling games that are 90% complete because market research palm reading said that they might make 2% more money if they cut their losses.

There are actually a decent number of games that were successful and delivered.

It's called schadenfreude, everyone knows this feeling.

publishers are 100% necessary though even tho they are cancer

whats the ratio of delivered kickstarter games against the number of scams?

They could be improved though. Like making the decision to cancel a game democratic by the developers, and making assets from canceled games the property of the people who made it.

I think my favorite one is the people waiting on Scam Citizen.

this one is a goldmine too

>All these nobody devs scamming people
If a kickstarter doesn't have a playable demo, then it's a scam. Always check for demos, anons

if they have a demo then they can finish the game, however long it will take.

if they can't then they should fuck off and find a job at mcdonalds or something

Nah, if they have a good enough demo, then they should get support.

Shovel Knight didn’t
Then again, Shovel Knight is the main exception

Shovel Knight is what Mighty Number 9 wish it would be. Everyone flocked to KS because of MN9 but somehow SK became the poster child on how to do a kickstarter right

Donated 100$ (Basically all my birthday presents) to a kickstarter that never even released an alpha when I was like 14 years old.

It taught me a very valuable lesson about what a scam is so I kinda consider it money well spent
