Op Ed

Derek Smart - Interstellar Justice.
"Give backers the opportunity to hire an independent forensics accountant, and an executive producer, to audit the company records, and give an accurate picture of the financial health of the company, and it’s ability to complete, and deliver this project in a timely fashion. I hereby offer to foot the entire costs of this effort. And I will put up to $1m of my own money, in an escrow account of an attorney’s choosing, to be used as-needed for this exercise. I will pay this price to prove that I had every right to seek these answers. So this money can either go toward a good cause (righting this ship), or to attorneys who are most likely to burn it all down anyway."

I hate to say it kxmode but you are screwed like all the backers. I personally found the email exchange quite a big eye opener. Here is the thing that really caught my attention:
So, speaking to you as a backer this was only ever the scenario assuming that the stretch goals stopped at that point. The idea was that as more goals were met, the more the game could grow and expand into something bigger and better. Right from the get go Chris mentioned in his pitch. "I don't want to build just a game, I want to build a universe"
So according to CIG support, the backers who bought more spaceships are the cause of the current situation. If they had only just stopped sending them money they would have actually finished the game to the specifications and on time.

So get that through your heads next time you buy into any kickstarter. If they keep asking for more money for more features after the kickstarter ends DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYMORE!!!!

Some rules for kickstarters really needs to be placed by the FTC. IMHO once the KS ends any adding of more stretch goals for more money should be illegal whether on the kickstarter website or on the website run by the company itself. That is one that absolutely needs to be put in and enforced. Otherwise feature creeping projects like SC will continue to the detriment of backers and possibly kill their usefulness due to mistrust they generate.
