The CMON story above is pretty much why I don't do Kickstarter any more. The other key factor is that I think Kickstarter should be used for designs that are being done independently, but it has pretty much become a pre-order portal for established publishers, rather than a way for designers to crowd-source funds to get their games made. Third factor is the pure plastic bloat that seems to have become de rigeur on Kickstarter these days, with CMON being major offenders on that front.

/cool story, bro

A perfect summation. Hopefully there’s only so much unpainted grey plastic and coffin boxes people are willing to have taking up shelf space before they get the message and start rejecting the ridiculous stretch goal shite. Design a decent fucking game first before you start worrying about an extra 30 expansions!
