This is the big problem with crowdfunding. It is in most respects used as a pre-order system, but offers none of the usual consumer protection. The legislation needs to catch up.

It will be interesting to see if a company like Mythic can pivot away from the mountain of plastic mega projects and move to a model where they do have to make good games for retail. Given the track record of some mediocre games, delays, and rules fixes, they may not have the skills to survive without KS. Time will tell.

Sorry to hear folks who risk losing money on this debacle. My one experience with Mythic was the original JoA KS and I got a refund. Cost me the KS fees, but glad I got out seeing how the game turned out.
