The lies of Slightly Mad (Project Cars) Head of the studio confess that they were overpromising

If this was a normal game development, I would be inclined to agree with you. But this is a kickstarter game where people are donating their cash for a potential game. The developer is obviously encouraging their donators (and marketing to future ones!) that a Wii U is more than capable of providing the core Project Cars experience.

Except it's not Kickstarter. They invited people to "invest" in their vision in return for financial returns on their investment, not a specific platform release of a game.

The "kickstaring" was a financial investment with a promise of financial returns if the project ws successful. The project has been released, it's doing very well at the moment. Investors will likely see a profitable return on thier initial outlay.

This forum has really got the wrong end of the stick of what has happened here.

The only people being burned, are the ones who refuse to game on anything other than a Nintendo console but really really want a racing sim.
