[QUOTE="MadAxe, post: 7655643, member: 6704815"] I think it's absurd to expect them to wait until they can launch a finished product before kickstarting, but I do agree that there are a lot of problems with the kickstarter right now. The starting goal is sky high, and while I have no doubt they deserve it and I know software developement is a long and expensive process, I suspect they looked at other softtware kickstarters end amounts and went with that. They should have started smaller and scaled up through stretch goals. Use hype to get to what they need to complete the whole package. I also think this slow trickle of information is damaging. This may have to do with the fact that they're just getting these deals finalized as they go but that's another sign of a kickstarter begun too early. Also, I appreciate the creativity of the clues for the next announcement on their website through cryptic story but it's actually irritating if you're trying to figure out what they're offering in order to back. I also agree that the tiers seem off, and there seems to be no benefit to backing before release in that regard. Maybe I'm wrong. I want this to succeed but it's hard not to be skeptical of something that appears to be unsure of what it is. [/QUOTE]
