It just keeps happening
And it will until the end of time because there's always someone who is willing to believe they can get a diamond for the price of a cup of coffee.

why should I care that there are people willing to foolishly throw away their money on something that they will never get?
There are great kickstarter projects anon
>>376908868
What game?
>>376909252
looks like Squad
As long as people keep supporting scams like pic related, Kickstarter will live forever.
>>376907930
What happened now?
>>376907930
It doesn't. Its almost impossible to get a game funded now because AA ruined it for indie developers.
>>376911181
Star Citizen got cancelled. A bunch of other projects that managed to release were shit.
>>376910660
>scam
Impending failure maybe, but how the hell is it a scam?
>>376911474
What's the point of blatantly lying about easily verified information?
>>376911810
I'm saving people from the truth: that they don't have shit to show for 150 millions and they subsist from sales of spaceship pictures.
>>376911515
People want to believe it's a scam so they can laugh at people for being idiots, instead of a project that suffered from developer hubris and bloated beyond any reasonable scope, and is setting the standard for feature creep and unnecessary bloat, and so won't see the light of day.
I assume people treat schadenfreude like wine, and only appreciate certain types.
>>376912007
That's some interesting logic right there.
>>376907930
Why though? When will people stop falling for shitty games?
>>376907930
Why do you hate Kickstarter so much? Sometimes nice things happens
Divinity Original Sin
FTL
Wasteland 2
Squad
Shovel Knight
EVERSPACE
Blackwake
Elite Dangerous
Pillars of Eternity
Shadowrun Games
Banner Saga
Satellite Reign

Kickstarter has brought us some good stuff anon. There is trash no doubt, but as long you got a brain and only pledge to projects that have a functional prototype to show you are fine.

>When will people stop falling for shitty games?
The second people stop buying shitty games, or being so blinded by nostalgia that they say "we want to eat shit because I remember it being fun as a kid!"
