So I have a question, in general is Kickstarter usually a good idea if you are looking to make a game?
I say this because, what if your game is already finished and you do have the funds an order to make cartridges of your game, but you just wanted to do a Kickstarter for possibly extra funds, publicity, more promotion, and so on.
I think there is a fee that Kickstarter charges the campaign starter and I was thinking, could this fee be detrimental to your project. Like again, what if you really do have all of the funds to complete your game and then you do a Kickstarter anyways then after paying the fees to KS now you actually lost money. Is this possible?
Also, what about the notion of launching a Kickstarter and if the funding goal isn't going to be met that the original campaign starter just pledges the extra cash on KS just so that the project gets funded anyway? Has that ever happened, where someone just funds their own KS even if they didn't get enough funding with their backers?
