[QUOTE="Rudy, post: 170742, member: 1233"] Off the top of my head, it was just a complete disaster that somehow managed to get funded. [LIST] [*]They didn't even announce the Kickstarter until the second day. [*]The Xbox 360 situation was still fairly ambiguous, and even today nobody's sure who was telling the truth about all that. [*]I can't remember if it had launched on PC by then, I think the PC version launched in between it getting funded and the table being produced. [*]It was nowhere near on target with a week to go until they used that beta backer reward tier. [*]It felt like there was no advertisements for the campaign anywhere, I remember that the Devs thought it was a great idea to add a link to the kickstarter in the Android Beta thread, even though at the time it seemed like such an obvious thing to do. [*]And after all was said and done, that really strange post from the ex-PR person on Farsight [/LIST] Just everything about it felt rushed, and to be fair it probably was given how they had such a short amount of time to get the license working before it was ripped out of their hands. I really get the feeling someone made a mistake with the Kickstarter and did it a month earlier than they wanted, which caused the colossal backpedaling because it'd have been even worse PR to cancel it and start it again in a month's time after some places were already starting to advertise it.
