Back in Kick Starter days before Patreon exist, there's a game developer who getting a lot of support, only to disappointing their backers as he used the donation to work on his 2nd project. He kept his promise though, finishing his original project, but after he's finished his 2nd project first. After a while, he make new project and ask for donation in kick starter again, this time no one care about his project. He got like $50 from a few people who donated, just because, so they can put a text on the comment section, warning about the developer shady behavior. After a couple months, the accumulation not reach the target and since then he make another donation plead on kickstarter, only to meet the same fate as before. After that, he never appear on Kickstarter again (or maybe use different account, who knows). I forgot the account name or the game title, but it's like happen on 2010~2012. The game is normal rpg genre.
Moral of the story ? ... really ? ... must you ask ?
