I have a little something to add here. For all users who want to go out in the wild badmouthing MOD:
Your frustration is understandable, but it’s not grounds for repayment. A cheating wife doesn’t deserve to be killed, you can simply leave her. But going in public saying the wife is a whore can land you in jail.
Kickstarter and all other startup crowdfunding venues are absolutely not secured businesses in any way. Their terms and conditions stipulate that. There is no expectation of repayment of any kind. I used to work for a bank that had a stake at PledgeMusic, and we lost everything. Every single pound invested went to hell.
MOD, for all their sins, is still working to deliver, and you can still get you Dwarf at less than retail price. If you don’t want or like it, you are entitled to your opinion. You can actually sue them for that, but it will fail because of the above: you never bought a product, you bought a tentative product with zero securities behind it.
However, going public to thrash the company and make statements to the effect that they took money and ran away, well bad news: that is actually enforceable by law. You’d be required to prove they misused funds, and the burden of guilt is over you here.
So my friendly advice, in light of “freedom of speech” practices and legislation, is to not go out and about saying someone stole your money unless you can prove it. Just a friendly advice, you do whatever you want.
Enough said.
