Ask the people on /a/ that put money on LWA2.

Creative differences my ass, some internal leaker spilled his guts a while ago claiming that Jiro Ishii is a greedy money grubbing faggot. Most of your donations went into his pocket.

I feel no pity in those brainless people who paid for this

>>120949961

This. It is fucking backwards, and anyone who was stupid and ignorant enough to give away their (or their parent's) hard earned money deserves to be burned by this announcement.

>A Kickstarter fails again

WHAT A FUCKING SHOCK

What, you mean someone set up a kickstarter, and instead of delivering what they said they would, they took the money? I'm shocked, absolutely shocked... hahahahahaha

I get it
"Under the dog" means gaijin who are lower than dogs, and glorious nipponjin took lowly gaijin's money.

So you are saying that a some people disagreeing with each other actually without burning the whole project down but actually parted ways like adults is going to destroy the whole project?
TL;DR:some of you people are idiots, but that is what i expected.

And this is why we can't have nice things.

Crowd funding is at least a little more bearable but this is just sad. Kickstarter is a nice tool but can be abused as fuck.

So even if they don't make the show, no one can get their money back?

Even if they mess up the quality which they previewed the show?

Pretty shameful.

Hope they're happy knowing they have made it that much harder for future potential fan funded Anime projects.

No there's a new clause in KS that the donors have to get their money back if the recipient of the money doesn't fulfill the kickstarters purpose.

No investment are guaranteed. All of them have a degree of risk. Many invest also don't involve you owning a part of the business. Actually, a majority of investments it's "I give you X amount of money for your project, and, in turn, you give Y amount of your profits". The only difference is that here, you get a product instead of hard cash, but you're still receiving a return for the money you putted in. That's is investment.

>>120952554
This.
Taking the money and running would be straight up theft, no way would any decent judge side with the animation company here.

Remember the project didn't get fully funded until Kojima and Kotaku advertised it to /v/ermin, it's mostly them losing their money.

>>120952599
UTD has no prior works to merit the company being a legit producer of anime.
TRIGGER at the point of the LWA2 kickstarter had LWA and Inferno Cop on their resume as well as the early PVs for Kill La Kill which showed that they were a competent studio to merit giving money to for more of what the fans liked.
UTD is a scam using the westaboo idea of MOE IS GARBAGE to merit some cheap Psycho Pass clone.

what about all the money that went into production, man hours, and other expenses

you can't get that money back, and they sure as hell aren't paying out of their pocket

Ebay, your product is assured to get you or your money back. That's not how investment works. If you don't get what you were promised when you invested, well, that's a sad day for you. Besides, the product you're buying already exist. In CF, you are giving money to the production of your object of desire, with no guarantees it will succeed. Stop strawmanning. It's not polite.

>>120952756

An Ebay seller is as obligated to send you the item you bought as much as the Kickstarter project is obligated to send you the reward. The only difference is that Kickstarter won't give you a safety net like Ebay. It's not an investment, it's a product purchase.

>>120952756
>When a project is successfully funded, the creator must complete the project and fulfill each reward. Once a creator has done so, they’ve satisfied their obligation to their backers.

And saying they are not straw men doesn't magically turn them into valid arguments either.

That's a stupidly narrow definition. If I pay a group money to develop something I want, with no assured guarantee of returning for my money, that's investment. You don't need to necessarily profit for it to be an investment.

Every argument is valid until proven otherwise.

Thus far the only one arguing that Kickstarter pledges (note: they're called "pledges", not "investments" on the site) are investments. Meanwhile all other definitions for "investment" say it's for profit.

I guess because they're just subbing and releasing a show that's already prepared it's much less risky.

Under the Dog is kill.
