Why can't they just keep the 1.5?

I don't know anything about kickstarter, but I don't see why they cant just keep the 1.5m they got through pledges and work with that.

 

Seems really silly to raise all that money to just not fun the game at all, only because it didnt quite make the 2mil goal.

 

anyone else agree?

Kickstarter doesnt take any money form anyone until it hits it's goal, if it doesnt hit its goal it doesnt take any cash. So in essence they have 0dollars atm and won't have any money unless it funds, kickstarter is a bunch of IOU's if they hit thier target otherwise no go.

Yeah, if they don't hit 2M, they get nothing. Whole point of KS is to raise the amount of money you need to make the game.

 

MJ needs 2M from us to make CU. He does not need 1.5M. He does not need 1.6M. He needs 2M.

 

When you do a KS< you agree to to that, as it's the spirit of KS. YOu post what you need, else if they didn't, people could just put like "10M" and get 2.5M or something.

 

Indiegogo allows you to keep whatever money you make. Though Indiegogo is also full of stupid shit. Like "My sister lost her Iphone, help her get another" and it raises 1500$.

some crowdfunding sites like indiegogo you can setup a flexable "goal" and if it's not reached the money will still go to the project. If setup for a fixed goal then all money will be returned to backers if it fails to reach the goal.. indiegogo charges as soon as you back a game while KS doesnt' take a dime till the goal is met and the KS is over.. so like said above they have made $0 so far and only get any money if it funds

 

Mkilbride beat me to it heh
