Kickstarter Description

Kickstarter campaigns turn ideas into reality. It's where creators can share their creative visions with the communities that will fund them. Creators have complete control over the process. There are no 100-page grant requests, donors requesting you modify your message, or investors requiring any last-minute changes. Backers who contribute funding and help spread word about the project become part of its independent work. To tap into our community, you must activate your own account. The most successful projects create a snowball effect. This means that friends and early supporters share the idea with others and signal their support for the wider Kickstarter community. The snowball effect can grow quite large. Over 20 million people from every continent have contributed to funding Kickstarter projects. Our mission is to bring creative projects to life. We believe art and creative expression are vital to a healthy, vibrant society.

    Got swindled 765 dollars. Never got what I ordered!

    Date: May 26 2023

    Summary: Steer clear of this site. It is disgusting how a criminal organization site like this is operating out in the open.

    Positive: None. This site should be shut down! I don't know why it's still up, but this site is full of scammers which they NEVER even attempt to stop!

    Negative: I backed a project from Watermelon games called Paprium which was supposed to be a fund raise for Watermelon games to port Paprium to the consoles. I ordered 3 collectors editions and a specialized joystick. Fast forward a year later past the deadline which was at December 2022 I still never received it. I tried disputing the charge, but Kickstarter "validated" it while pretending they are a "legitimate" business. Worse is that a tweet was made on December 25th which I never noticed at the time, but a backer on Facebook saved it prior to the tweet being deleted. It showed that the developers were admitting to their backers that the project was a scam. This site should be seized by the FBI.
