@limburger I think people also often overestimate the size of some of these companies too. So many people criticise Mantic for constantly using Kickstarter claiming they should be big enough now that they don’t have to use it. If you have seen Mantic’s HQ you would realise they really aren’t a big company. I think quite often the sizes of the budgets they’re working with that we see from Kickstarters actually create a false illusion that these companies are a lot bigger than they are.

That said, it looks to me as though Ninja Division have suffered from a serious inability to plan and estimate. Every single Kickstarter they have run has made a loss which means they probably weren’t costing properly at the start of each project leaving them to rely on profits from sales to try and make up the difference.
