if Sony really were in it to pull a fast one, wouldn't they just wait until the kickstarter closed so you couldn't cancel your pledge with no consequence?
I don't think they have thought their plan all the way through...
I think Sony should disclose on the page they are an investor. It would make people more likely to donate. It has a real developer and larger budget behind it whereas right now it just has senior staff. I'm all in favor of transparency but right now I'm not clear how having extra information would actually alter decision making. Like if you knew Sony was investing before would you not?
Seems more like an ethical concern over risk sharing than one over transparency, which seems more academic. But I am happy to be wrong.
