Never backed a Kick-starter, never will
I have also stopped using Kickstarter directly. Not because I don't trust crowd funding, but for the simple reason that Kickstarter allows scams to keep on getting funded despite people reporting it to them.
Hey, Kickstarter is fine. and there's a large majority of them that are totally above board. it's idiots like this giving it a bad name. go pledge for Yooka Laylee already.
Why would I assume any sort of risk when there are thousands of nice people like you willing to do it for me?

Well, in the case of Yooka Laylee...
If you pay for the £30 tier, you get both the steam edition, a console edition code, an exclusive advance demo for the PC and a contributor credit. Seeing as the Wii U version alone will likely launch at around £17, its a damn good deal.
You don't get a Steam key and console code for the £30 tier, or any tier, as far as I know.
But Kickstarters always a risk, thats how any investment works. Something I feel some people don't understand (saying they'll only back if they are guaranteed something).
Kickstarters aren't an investment. You don't get any ROI. At best you get a game years later that you could just buy when its out for the same price, except you held onto your cash in the meantime.
For any game or thing that's on there, you're better off just waiting until they're out and buying then. Yes it might not happen unless they get funding, but I'm not going to be the one wasting money on something that a) might not even happen b) might end up being shit or c) might take 10 times as long as they say. It's like preordering, except worse.
>Checks for Majora's Mask 3DS announcement
You lied to me.
So how long can he keep up with this? It's gone over a half a year already and won't Kickstarter do anything?

So, it is now funded now...
Here is a selection of the final backers to the project....
Let's check a few of those names...
Those two first joined Kickstarter last month, this is the first project they ever funded.
In fact, all 7 of the above names first joined Kickstarter last month, this is the first project they ever funded
I am not flat out saying this is a scam, but judging on this, and the collection of other thing both I, and others have gathered in this thread, it should set a few alarm bells off that something is wrong.
Yes you do. Confirmed by a dev from playtonic on twitter.
In this thread, is not "slightly" OT. The Yooka Laylee thread is that way.A slightly OT bump but I wanted to address this:
I sent a message via Kickstarter regarding this and was told that it's just one code for the platform of your choice.

Hilarious in hindsight.
