Normally when people invest in a product, they expect to make a profit. Donate $500 and you expect $750 back. With KS, the funders only get a fraction back of what they put in. Donate $500 and get your name in the game? lol. Kickstarter does have project goals to protect funders but that protection only works with certain projects, the ones kickstarter was designed for. Today a guy can set the goal to $100,000 to make a game, spend all the money, realize it takes more money, and say "sorry." |
You dont get charged unless the project gets funded. Kickstarter's Terms of Use require creators to fulfill all rewards of their project or refund any backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill.
