Sure, they have profit in mind: but not necessarily enough to bootstrap their next project, after payroll, printing, shipping, etc...again, these are small, small companies we are talking about here.I think you are misinterpreting what I am saying. Firstly, I had issues with Kickstarter long before I even started my project, so there should be no correlation between my success and someone else's. If anything, I am conceding to your previous points by saying that I should have done Kickstarter. I am not bitter against Kickstarter successes. I am glad for them. I simply couldn't bring myself to do it myself for ethical reasons. I felt that it was just a way to make more money from people. I understand and agree with your points about small businesses and projects needing Kickstarter, I get it. I personally won't ever back a Kickstarter, for the same reason I won't buy an Early Access video game. But you guys really think that every company running a Kickstarter doesn't have profit on their mind? You really think that Kickstarter is ONLY to cover the expenses of publishing? I don't mean to be rude, but that is naive to trust a capitalist system in such a way.
