Ouya: Day 1 - The Unboxing "Experience"

[twistedsymphony]

Oh I realize that "legally" any money you provide via Kickstarter is just a donation with no guarantee of anything in return. Anytime you're putting money against a promise it's a gamble... I honestly don't think the service could work any other way though. In order to guarantee anything it would have be insured and as soon as that comes into the mix you're basically subjecting the kickstarter projects to the same corporate scrutiny that they'd have to go through to get a bank loan. At that point whole ideal of direct, untarnished, interaction between project producers and end consumer is broken.


I like the Kickstarter service, yeah you have the potential to get burned, but you just have to back responsibly, do your own research into the projects you're funding and don't pledge anymore than you'd be willing to gamble and lose.
