I've been saying kickstarter is a scam for a long time now.. I'm always told that i'm CRAZY and that ONE BAD APPLE doesn't ruin the whole concept.
Really?
How about a dozen bad apples totaling over 1 million dollars in fraud? Does that count as a scam?
We all know the real problem. It's the fact that while game budgets have SKYROCKETED over the last 20 years, game QUALITY has PLUMETTED over the last 20 years.
Today's video games are soulless, mcdonalds-esque all you can eat buffets of nastiness. In the '90s, if you picked up 5 random games, 4 of them would be great.
Today if you picked up 5 random games, there is a very real possibility that ZERO would be great.
Of course the fans are angry about this, they SHOULD BE. If the "Industry" cant handle it, maybe it should die. Then the Indies will take over and games will have a soul again.

no this is exactly how it works, and anybody who thinks otherwise is naive as hell
