I mean, that is definitely cool, but it serves to illustrate the issue really well. You cannot make safe assumptions about how long a KS will take. Now, that's fine, caveat emptor and all that, but at the same time, it does mean that I too have gradually become more reluctant to use KS (and obviously I will never touch them again if this blockchain naughty word goes anywhere, but that's a separate issue), because it's often not even worth bothering to back something unless it's either in serious need of backing, or going to release stuff early to backers, as it'll come out anyway when its actually ready. Most do, but I dunno, I get that it sort of degrades the utility of KS slightly.That’s totally dependent on the creator. We have a campaign ending tonight and the PDFs will go out immediately with the physical books in 2 weeks.
And anything that's multiple years out I'm just not backing (except when I got talked into back Exalted Essence sigh), because I'm skeptical it'll ever come out. And the only things I've backed so far that did take that long were all videogames and all disappointing except the Obsidian ones.
