For most backers, the risk on a kickstarter project is a couple of dollars. If they get an awesome game for that -- a game that otherwise wouldn't be possible at all -- that's a quite high return of investment.
But I actually don't want to discuss semantics, or even argue with you. (Please don't get me wrong there). All I am saying is: kickstarter game projects are
game development projects. Some will turn out awesome, many will see a release but turn out mediocre, and some will fail entirely or be abandoned. It's the usual spread.
I find it unfair to insinuate that all poeple behind failed, postponed or otherwise troubled projects are scammers. I can understand your anger. But the way kickstarter works, a certain percentage of disappointments will be just inevitable.
