Not PC gaming related but interesting nonetheless: Feds take first action against a failed Kickstarter with $112K judgment

This is important, now there is a precedent, it means that now all undelivered Kickstarters are liable to repay their backers, however, as was expected filing for bankruptcy will keep the creators of said projects out of jail and won't really pay back.
Let's not forget that this was for a physical product tho, for videogames as long as they release something they should be off the hook.

Interestingly it has fewer backers than PoE or TToN.

If I did my math right, it's averaging $85 per backer :O

Maybe that's because backer-exclusive content is only available for $60+ backers.

As I said in the other thread, it's because console nostalgia is still largely an untapped market on Kickstarter...and as Damned Registrations has argued elsewhere, console nostalgia IS stronger than old PC game nostalgia, as much as some of us master racers may not like that.

Right, console were always bigger markets, I would expect more backers. That kind of insane double money per backer is unexpected.

Then again, I suppose they're used to paying more money too.

Remember when I wrote about a new era of console Kickstarters?

Multiply that by 10 now.
