HermitFromPluto wrote in Failed Kickstarters:Didn't mean for this to be so negative actually. My overall experience with Kickstarter is pretty positive. It really is fun to support entrepreneurship. Just wondered how to deal with the odd project where people seem to have walked away and have no intention of telling their backers even whether it has failed or not. I should have perhaps been more specific in labelling this thread (I.e 'Kickstarters where launchers have walked away')
HermitFromPluto wrote in Failed Kickstarters: I can see from projects I have backed that many people that put up projects often underestimate the level of work they have committed themselves to, especially if they go much higher than expected and lots of stretch goals are added.
HermitFromPluto wrote in Failed Kickstarters:I look forward to seeing your new project. The way you ran your last one, I don't believe you have much to worry about :)
