I usually back the lowest amount for a digital copy of the game.

I like the crowdfund idea and supported 66 projects so far: https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/1008526593

A third of these didn't reach their goal, but no loss... in these cases no money gets transfered.

I usually pledge between $10 and $30, depends on the scale of the project.

Ah, cool, you're cohen from ntower.

Tut mir leid, dich enttäuschen zu müssen: das bin ich nicht. ;)

Only Bloodstained so far, these are pretty high risk projects so I'm not too comfortable throwing too much money behind them.

No. Business is about taking risk and hopefully, through smart working it paying off. I'm not going to subsidize the risk of developers so they can keep all the reward.

Yep, Yooka-laylee. I backed the project with 20 pounds (WiiU digital copy). But I don't usually back projects. It's just that I miss the old-Rare soooo much that I took the risk.
