It's almost like he has 3 days left on this campaign and wants to get some press attention...
hahaha, indeed.
But instead of blaming Kickstarter he should check his stats and rewards, because the popular ones are all taken.
Except for the $1,- pledges, all the rewards are limited and the ones still available add up to $31880,-
So in total he could raise $55182,- if all rewards will be taken.
This means there is a 10% overflow possible on the goal.
But 1 reward costs: $5000,-, 5 cost $3500,- making a total of $22500 depending on 6 big backers.
So, I think there is a lesson in this:
check the mix of your rewards and adjust it if necessary, with respect to promised limited editions.
It is easy to blame others.
But if you don't see you have popular rewards that sold out, you don't understand that crowdfunding is a marketplace
