The only way a ‘small company with minimal staff’ could (successfully) run multiple kickstarters is to hand off control the moment things were shipping to backers …

multiple projects in various stages of completion using 3rd party resources is a massive headache for the best teams.

CGL is not what I’d describe as a ‘good team’.

Part of this may simply be the result of delays forcing projects closer than they would have been under ideal circumstances, but even that should have been partially predicted as a ‘worst case scenario’ by any competent company.

Everything in this kickstarter reads like this is baby’s first kickstarter managed by an unpaid intern.

The sheer volume in product and backers isn’t making this easy, but one would think that you wouldn’t even dare to manage a second kickstarter with a team as overburdened as this one is.

I’m afraid that the backers of those other kickstarters are in for an even worse fate …

Anyone got eyes on those kickstarters ? I doubt non-backers will have any info 🙁
