Yeah, just to jump on the bandwagon too, but, why would they bother?
What funding do they need? Is there any indication that they are lacking funds in any way?
And, what, exactly would they be kickstartering? Development of the new edition? Considering they're already about a year into that project, AFAIK, you don't kickstart stuff that's well into development. So, what, exactly would the money be for?
