How is this not illegal? It's blatant theft.
>>253582698

Theft would be you not getting anything in return.
>>253582698
Part of the deal of kick starter is that they owe you nothing.
>>253582010
>People are surprised at this
This is what happens when you let an ideas guy make a game.
>>253582872
Putting lines like this in a EULA does not overwrite existing laws.
I promise you, in the near future kickstarter will get taken to court and they will get ruled that when people give them money as backers of a product, it is required that said product is delivered or money refunded.

There is no existing law against this. Investing money is not a guarantee of return on investment.

>>253583091
It's clearly an investment. You take a risk by backing projects and sometimes you lose. Anyone who is upset or surprised that a project failed is a moron.
>>253583091
I promise you that you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.
>>253583230
Money is paid in expectation of a certain product. That product was never delivered.
If 5 people could afford to give 10k to yogscast for this, they can probably afford some high powered lawyers.
People who back Kickstarters are surely the same people who respond to those Nigerian Prince emails.
>>253583091
You're not buying a product, you're investing in it. There is a MASSIVE difference.
>>253583091
It's an investment. If you buy stock in a company and it goes bankrupt they don't owe you anything. This is like buying stock without actually getting anything.

Bankruptcy protects you from such things. Yogscast did not go bankrupt, neither did the company developing the game. They simply cancelled it for no reason.

>The group was founded in July 2008 by Simon Lane and Lewis Brindley. The name "The Yogscast" was derived from the title letters of a previous World of Warcraft guild named "Ye Olde Goone Squade".[10] "Goons" are members of the Something Awful forums where the guild was originally formed and which most of the Yogscast members are part of. Videos posted on behalf of the guild were referred to as "YOGScasts", with the term "Yogscast" eventually coming to refer specifically to those posted by videographer Brindley

If you gave a dude money and a tharja figurine in exchange for "something" and he gave you shit, then the contract has been completed. I'm not saying it's right, but it's the logic they're going on.
>>253583295
No, it's NOT an investment. It's a donation. And that's exactly why they can fuck off with all the suckers' money.
>>253584103
That's not a strawman though, it's true. Just because you give something in return doens't mean that it isn't theft.
>>253583443
Yes. In fact there have already been a couple. /v/ complains a lot about Sarkeesian, but at least she delivered and is delivering something that was part of the promise.
I remember one case where a woman who started saying she was receiving visions from the sun or something and just ran with the money, and some MRA with some kind of project or whatever who was never heard from again.
>>253584146
Couldn't they just release the game as it is? How much did they promise?
>>253582808
Yes, ONE free game when they got twice of the money they asked for. I bet you that some people even gave them several hundreds of dollars and still only got one game.
>>253584146
This is why you don't let autists make videogames. On paper it's the best game ever with infinite "possibilities" (autists favorite buzzword)
Then when it's time to actually make the game they don't know where to start

She won because the coffee was hot enough to sear flesh and muscle from her bones and put her in the hospital. Not because she got a little lip burn.
>>253584146
nah man, they were too busy lining their pockets with phat stacks of cash. The lead developer even ended up putting $25,000 of his own money. There is no denying it, they straight up robbed people.
Too many morons with more money than sense
>>253584146
1. They never got the full $500K. Lots of people pledged but a pledge is not the same as actually paying. They got less than half that.
2. Then Kickstarter took 1/3rd as their cut.
3. The studio didn't know what they were doing
>>253584306
The backers aren't entitled to anything. It's an investment, and with any investment there's risk.

https://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/kickstarter%20basics
What are the fees?
If a project is successfully funded, Kickstarter applies a 5% fee to the funds collected.
For US-based projects, pledges will be processed by Amazon Payments, while pledges to non-US projects will be processed securely through a third-party payments processor. In either case, these payment processing fees work out to roughly 3-5%.
Which game get they free?
>>253583124
if your donating that much money, it stands to reason you will never miss 10k
This is why everyone should exploit KS to rob each other for their money.

>another early access minecraft like piece of shit that will never be good
atleast they gave them a product similar to their own planned one.
The simpliest solution for this is to make legally Kickstarter the receiver of the donations and then have Kickstarter fund the project.
This way you avoid all the legal issues that could arise by having multipel investors, and still have the devs be responsable for their projects by binding them with a real contract to Kickstarter.
If they don't deliver, all of the material bought with the funds is re-sold, the devs have no legal obligations of returning the whole amount as long as they didn't spend them on whores or shit, and what's left after covering debts and expenses is returned to the donators.

Meanwhile they just admitted to starting up a new shilling business:
>Hi all,
>In light of the new Space Engineers episode going out we wanted to take the opportunity to speak openly about something new we're doing, YogDiscovery.
>What is YogDiscovery?
>YogDiscovery is our way of encouraging our creators to showcase fantastic indie games that they love so that everyone benefits.
>How does it work?
>Much like an affiliate link, our creators receive a small share of the revenue generated by the measurable increase in sales generated by their coverage. This will often run for a brief period of time after the video has gone live.
>So for example if a game had an extra 10,000 sales in the week after their video, they would see a small percentage of those extra sales.
>Ideally viewers will be encouraged to purchase through the Humble Store rather than Steam, as developers receive a better margin and 10% of revenue goes to charity.
They will shill your indie game for a percentage of the sales.

https://www.kickstarter.com/blog/accountability-on-kickstarter
>Is a creator legally obligated to fulfill the promises of their project?
Yes. Kickstarter's Terms of Use require creators to fulfill all rewards of their project or refund any backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill. (This* is what creators see before they launch.) We crafted these terms to create a legal requirement for creators to follow through on their projects, and to give backers a recourse if they don't. We hope that backers will consider using this provision only in cases where they feel that a creator has not made a good faith effort to complete the project and fulfill.
*- Pic related. this is originally a hyperlink
There's more stuff about fulfillment, but even Kickstarter acknowledges that people who start projects and then fail to deliver have broken the law.

>>253584253
afaik she released the board game.
Why would you even consider backing this game?
>>253585878
no, they should not have any profit if they were to refund every single penny to people that donated, in fact, they should be out money because they now have to come up with 5% of what KS took.
>>253586021
>Didn't he do another kikestarter for it afterwards?
No. They expanded the scope of the game and got independent funding from other sources to pay for the extras. And decided to make it into two games instead of one so they could use sales from the first part to help fund the second part.

>>253582808
What about those people who donated like 10k for the project?
>>253585819
His math is correct though.
They received $567,665 in funding.
Multiply this by .666666 etc
Yogscast kept $378,443.33 while Kickstarter took $189,221.67
They had 13,647 backers.
The refund game is worth $10.
$136,470 in expenses to buy the game at retail price (and they may have very well gotten a discount for buying that many keys)
$378,443.33 - $136,470 = $241, 973.33.
OP rounded the dollar value up, otherwise his answer is correct.
>>253586179
Now I see what you're saying. Hahha, here I thought they were gonna refund people their money, it's way cheaper to give a shitty $10 dollar game and keep the rest.

Thank you for showing this.
>>253584212
Fuck off. It's not a donation as there is clearly a promise of a product to be delivered.

>>253587451
>someone gives away 80 dollars worth of shit
>oil baron
no anon, there are pathetic people who just have no friends
Alright, so aside from oil barons some of the best people to drain free money from are probably rich white kids. Rich white kids are, more often than not, highly liberal and most likely go on tumblr, thus they are typically SJW or something similar. There's that kickstarter for some black girl to get white privilege which takes advantage of this, but it doesn't have nearly enough steam behind it for whatever reason. Surely there must be a way to guilt-trip these people into donating to some nebulous cause which can never be delivered on, but what is it?
>>253587768
conscience ain't cheap
>>253587898
You're fucking retarded. It's a donation. You're giving them money hoping they'll make the game. If they do, good job, you get the game. If not, fuck you, they're not responsible for returning your money.
>>253587851
>agitated
Have you seen the exposed vagina on the hot as fuck female character in MN9?
Nothing came of there being a feminist on staff.
Hiring someone with beliefs you don't agree with doesn't entitle you to a refund, but it also doesn't mean hell is raining down upon your precious videogame dreams. MN9 is exactly what people wanted, and somehow it got (likely coincidentally) sexier.
>>253587997

>>253584146
There are three likely options as to why they didn't hire more staff, either:
1) It was a cynical cash in from the start.
2) They don't/didn't have the industry ties needed to hire professionals.
3) They're so neurotic that they felt the need to be able to look over everyone's shoulder and have nothing done without their stuttering approval, and hiring more people would have made the effort involved feel like an actual job.
My money's on 3.

Think of it like an investment. Just because you invest in something, doesn't mean you'll get any return on it.
This is why I rarely put any money into kickstarters.
Always do your research, see what has already been made, are the people making it trustworthy, are the people making it /competent/, do they have past projects and have they been successful, are their goals and idea realistic.
These are all things you should ask yourself before investing in a kickstarter.
>>253588115
It entitles me to call you a whorish, fat, legbeard for supporting it.
And no, of course I didn't follow it after Dina, the game has been ruined forever.
>>253588085
> If not, fuck you, they're not responsible for returning your money
Actually, by kickstarter's own TOS, if they cannot deliver a stated reward, they must provide a refund.
>>253588171
What? You're justifying your lack of understanding of what the terms "donation" and "investment" mean with some oversimplifyed analogy.
The Kickstarter was done (in legal terms) by the third party developer that the project was outsourced to.
That company is now going into administration, so there is no one to sue.
And regardless, two years of development with $500,000 for a six man team is... really not enough money. I doubt they actually got anything out of it (Brindley & co probably managed a decent licensing fee though, if they're not idiots).
I mean; six salaries, rent on an office, workplace insurance, furniture, computers... they never actually had enough money to complete the project, let alone the talent.
So to be straight and honest here; there have been about ten released kickstarter projects that I am incredibly happy were released. I'm sure there are more, but there are 10 games I own that I'm glad exist. Weird, fucked up games that I doubt would have been funded, included an Ice-Pick Lodge game (my game-dev waifu).
Kikestarter is filled with total garbage and all, but I really do like that slim percentage of good that comes out. How would you guys improve something like kikestarter?
Eh, not the worst case around, at least they are still trying to make up for the shit they got into and trying to give the game and bonus, but they should really give the option of the person getting a refund instead
>>253588280
Did this ever happen? Why is Yogscast doing this then?
>>253588273
So you never actually confirmed whether the GAME was changed at all. No, you made a petty assumption and want to stick with it.
>>253588085
I'm sorry, patent Nr. 253588085, you do not get to call others retarded.
>You're giving them money hoping they'll make the game.
No. It's not a hope. I'm funding a project so that it will be completed. This isn't a hope, it's their promise and an obligation.

Yogs weren't legally tied to the devs or something. They just licensed out their image and pledged to do support work (is va) when needed.
They've already said that refunds are a matter between kickstarter, the devs and the backers who should do the legwork.
>>253583230
Uh it says if you give us $15 or whatever you will get this product by this date.
That's a pretty clear guaranteed return on investment.

What, they are. Look at any college campus. I'm not talking shit about any political ideology, I'm just saying they seem like a ripe group of people to make money off of. The root of most of their issues is having too MUCH money, it has to be easy to get them to piss it away.
>>253588560
The kickstarter EULA used to say that those promises weren't contractually binding.
>>253582335
>reminiscent of old school RPGs
Yeah he's damn right seeing as he essentially ripped off Fallout 1 and 2 (I mean look at the UI, it's like a fucking carbon copy) and made their graphics better/made it a dieselpunk setting/made it realtime
I'd like to see the game do well but I seriously hope it's not just gonna feel exactly how it looks
>>253588281
The problem is that you've completely made up both those terms and are shoehorning them into discussion.
Nobody considers funding kickstarter as either donation OR investment. Well, nobody except idiots like you.
It is only a donation if you decide to opt out of a reward.
Give your money to someone who deserves it.

It is illegal everywhere, including america.
However there is no legal recourse because the corporate entity liable no loner exists. (and is a limited liability company anyway)

Read Kickstarter's fine print. Kickstarter is a donation, not an investment. They are not obligated to give you anything whether they succeed or fail.
You are donating money to a Kickstarter, and if it falls apart, it falls apart. Your donation was appreciated at the time.
You have no legal stake or ownership of the product whatsoever.
>>253583705
If I'm correct, the money never actually went to the Yogscast, the kickstarter was made by Winterkewl, and all the Yogscast did was publicise it.
$10 that they fell victim to feature-creep since they thought 500k was a load of money to develop a game and they didn't have a producer to tell them no you fucking idiots stop doing this shit.

With investment, there's always a risk you could lose your money. They knew that. That's on them.
