Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheAlkaizer" data-source="post: 9757511" data-attributes="member: 7024893">I've been lucky, all my Kickstarters but two ended up well.The first well is a video game I backed in 2019. They said it would come out in 2021. It's seems to be nowhere near finished, and I have six years of bi-annual updates where they say "we're sorry for being silent for six month, we'll do more frequent update". That irritates me immensely more than any possible delay.The other one is actually an RPG. I backed Horizon Rising by LF.OSR. The guy wrote an update in early 2023 saying everything was almost done and ready to get to backers. Then radio silence for two years. No updates, no emails. He hasn't even logged on Kickstarter in over a year! His website is still up and people could put up orders for a while, but they would never get an answer.I did some search, and apparently the guy is not dead. His name even crepped up in another campaign or two on Kickstarter in handling/distributing RPG products. But he's apparently unreachable.It's really weird. Part of me is really angry at the lack of communication. I'm sure something happened in his life. But aside from getting crippled, dying or something like that, I figure out that at one point you get five minutes to let the people around you know that you're out of order and can't fulfill your obligations. But at the same time, it's just a zine, it cost me twenty bucks. It's not a big deal.</blockquote>
