Something i noticed that RPS story doesnt mention, is that Kickstarter only raised SOME of the funds, they've still sold it on Steam and had those funds. So its not just what they got from KS, its more... and yet not enough.
It does. He's asked why they asked for less money than they knew they needed, only to then need even more money than that anyway.
It's hardly unique that a project has issues of such scale, the only unique thing here is that it was a kickstarted project and that the press has gone after Peter Molyneux like a rabid pack of dogs.
They've gone after him because of the project's failure to deliver. The guy's a veteran of games development and yet seemingly can't manage project properly which results in the entire thing costing more than expected, not delivering what was promised and the entire team forgetting about the guy who 'won'. They've taken people's money for this already, so the least they should get is a bit of hassle from the press and gaming community.
