You may be familiar with Kickstarter. It’s a website where developers can showcase their ideas and seek additional funding to make those ideas a reality. There’s been all kinds of games and hardware that were funded on Kickstarter. However, there’s been a few scams on the platform, where the owner of the page might take the donations and run, or mislead people into backing a project that will never exist. One example of this would be subject to some major controversy.
