I have never really been in to the idea of Kickstarter because of paying money up front for something you may not ultimately receive, the potential for the game to not actually be very good (a lot of the previews that are available are paid for by the publishers themselves so they cannot be guaranteed to be impartial), or for the high prices some of these kickstarters command only to find them discounted in shops or online shortly after release, does not really appeal to me. Now whilst this does come across as negative let it also be known that I have been following kickstarters for some time and have kicked myself for not pledging for a game only to find that, yes I do really fancy playing it, and now I have to pay significantly more than the original cost of the kickstarter for the privilege – I am looking at you Gloomhaven and Nemesis!
