I'm all for positive criticism but as mentioned a lot of what's been said in this thread comes across as whining.
Uum, I'm not sure if you're replying to me or not, but I mentioned this specifically. Why shouldn't the kickstarter also try to appeal to non-fans?

What some people are saying in their "I didn't like the pitch" or "I didn't like the games I want something new" could just as well be "I watched this pitch for a new AG (a genre I'm really interested in) and it didn't grab me or make me interested."
(please notice the "could". I'm talking hypothetically, NOT putting words in people's mouth)
While it is not said in a constructive way, I still think is is valuable for AG designers to see what people react negatively to and why people who love the genre are not intrigued by their game/pitch.
