on the one hand it's like - why can't I get 70k to finish my stupid game over here. on the other, I totally understand why, and I know why people paid all that money in, and I'm not in any way making a game like that, so... whatever I guess!

well, it's not really fun elaborating on a thing that (likely) he and I have read scads of articles about recently, but there's a lot of kickstarter blowback, it takes a huge herculean effort to get a campaign looking good, and my industry friends are all hurting for money as well, so it's nowhere near as "sure" a thing as it might've been a while back.
