So, you're saying that we should just give up and trust big publishers who know best?? Kickstarter is inherently risky and pointing it out with a big hoopla is kinda silly. It's as "buyer beware" as it gets. Out of all successfully funded projects that I backed on kickstarter - most came through... Only very few didn't.
It's even quite benign for FUD — they're not saying "this is a load of crock," only "this is not magic".
