    The point of that is to allow risky projects the opportunity to succeed in comfortable financial circumstances.

    Risky projects are risky because there’s a potential financial loss to funding them. This is one of those times

    Cases like this abuse the system to scam people while using the ToS to skirt legal implications. So it is fraud, just dressed up as a gambling.

    If they put all the KS money towards the game unsure how it’s fraud. The fact that they couldn’t finish with the funding they got from KS is the risk that all KS projects come with

    Again, it’s not a preorder site, there is no guarantee that someone who pledges on KS will receive anything. I’m just saying to adjust your expectations and pledgers should think about the risk when they’re putting down money
