That's odd the first pixate campaign on Kickstarter was for $250k. Did they realize they weren't going to meet it and drop the price?

Didn't think Kickstarter allowed that.

Hey Paul, I'm not opposed to anything you've done but just replying with what I believe the general sentiment is that I'm referring to.

I understand the reasoning. I think the question was more around the idea that KS campaigns are typically viewed as a one shot deal. It's important to pick your rewards and funding goals accordingly. If you pick them incorrectly you blow your shot.

If that's not the case then KS becomes a much less interesting place where people abuse it to raise funds.

Yes, they did. Yes, it's all a bit dodgy, especially when you consider $10k of their Kickstarter funding isn't really crowd-sourced at all, coming from Appcelerator (who acquired the Pixate founders' previous company)
