This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Now this is an interesting twist:

Seattle Times: AG sues Kickstarter project that didn't deliver

While the KS project in question seems more designed to simply scam people, I wonder if this won't set a precedent for any KS projects that fail to deliver.

I don't see how he's ever going to collect, being in a different state.

Me either, but the fact that they're even trying to prosecute might throw a bit of a damper on those KS projects that are long on hype and short on business plan.

They are not really obligated to deliver... thats the problem.

All they have to prove is that they tried, but failed and bum your money is gone.
