    That’s. Uh… the entire idea of a kickstarter.

    It may crash and burn. Don’t want that, don’t back anything on kickstarter.

      Honestly that is something I’ve always been ok with on Kickstarter. But it’s 50% scams now of people who never intended to deliver anything in the first place and Kickstarter is taking a lot of steps to protect the scammers in this. The only reason I ever back anything on there anymore is because of campaigns by companies I trust will at least try. I trust Pebble will try, so I personally am very tempted.

      The idea is that you judge each Kickstarter venture on its likelihood of doing that vs actually delivering.
