First, as a camcorder leak and then the screener copy. lol

Estimated delivery: Dec 2016 he has no job and plays with platform masters all day why would it take 3 more years to finish that dumb game aside from the fact that he wastes more time tweaking the smallest most insignificant "problems" in his game

is there any legal recourse that could be taken on kickstarter or a person donated to if they don't make the project they claim they want to? I have this sneaking suspicion that someone is gonna sue KS or indiegagga and then the bottom is gonna poo poo out of this potentially market changing institution. we almost got a chance to fund neat projects without publishers but nah we are greedy fucks who are going to destroy the earth

(where it gets complex is with the investor reward stuff - a lot of projects are basically retailing their as-yet-nonexistent product through kickstarter and that puts them in a whole new world of hurt, legally speaking, which might be why kickstarter are cracking down on that now) okay that's two effortposts in yospos today, i need to go kill myself
