Re: Backer Refunds & Pre-Orders -- Your Thoughts?
Yay, KS update tomorrow. 

That's a very good idea imo. I know I'm being somewhat selfish in that I'd like to back/buy in. I don't really wanna say pre-order because I'd actually like to be able to buy into the beta, unless Josh can confirm that it will be a short beta. I don't wanna end up sitting on the sidelines with a 3-6 month beta happening that I can't get in on simply because of principle. Had the game met its original expectations I wouldn't mind so much, but given how long it has blown out to, I'd personally find that extremely frustrating.Silverware wrote:I would suggest opening up preorders.
On the proviso that the extra funds go to you, not LT.
LT needs to hit 1.0 with it's current funding.
But you are the one many of us want to support.
So preorders to give funding to you to buy better food, or get your Female over more often, or hire more Psychiatrists, or hire web devs to do the site/forums up more. etc.
I am entirely sure that LT can hit 1.0 with your current level of funds in a reasonable time frame.
But I would love to preorder the game to make sure you can afford to splash out on yourself, and keep yourself sane.
Also not a lawyer, but agree with you (!)Poet1960 wrote:I voted no.
If I understand the rules of KS correctly, a dev must be working on said project in order to fulfill the obligations to backers. So in my opinion, for any legal action that might be brought against a dev, they would have to prove the dev has failed to continue working on the project. What judge would condemn a man for taking a hiatus, because of health issues created by his commitment, dedication and drive in creating the actual product?
It only PROVES that he is working extremely hard to fulfill his obligations to his backers, not the opposite. So much so that it impacted his health. The fact that he has put so much effort into completing this game that it impacted his health, only speaks of his dedication to the project, and his willingness to go beyond what most devs would do, especially in his honesty and forthrightness, not to mention the hours upon hours of work.
Even if the game never got finished (which I know won't happen) I would not be upset, disappointed maybe, but at least I would know that he gave it his best shot, and that it was not for lack of trying.
So Josh, stick to your guns and keep your integrity.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, but I think my logic is correct.
