One of the main concerns with crowdfunding websites like Kickstarter is the uncertainty surrounding the use of funds after a campaign ends. Once people give money toward a Kickstarter, they want the product to actually come to fruition. While people who run Kickstarter campaigns are bound by the terms and rules of Kickstarter, sometimes funds are misused.

Now, however, the Federal Trade Commission has decided to take action in at least one of these cases. A 2012 Kickstarter for a board game called The Doom That Came to Atlantic City succeeded in raising over $120,000, significantly more than its $35,000 goal, but the creator of the game ended up using the money on personal expenses rather than making the game. After fourteen months, he abruptly canceled the project and didn't fulfill all of the backer rewards. Recently, the FTC decided that this violated the law and filed a complaint with a federal court. , and several suspicious campaigns, so it is good that the FTC is attempting to stop such wrongful spending.

Koji Igarashi's Kickstarter for the Castlevania spiritual successor Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been going about as well as anyone on the marketing team should have expecting. I can safely say this not just because of how quickly its minimum goals were met, but because with 20 hours to go (as of the time of this writing), it's very close to reaching its absolute highest stretch goal.

The Outerhaven writes: As you are already aware of, Wayforward has recently started sending out beta/demo codes to everyone who backed their Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Kickstarter project with a $45 dollar or more donation. Well I recently got my hands on mine today and put the demo through the paces and well I came away with a nice olde grin on my face.

Serena Nelson writes: "Have you ever wanted to play a game where you didn't have to have a twitchy trigger finger, reflexes like a cat, or the need to solve every puzzle on the planet? Chris Crawford has taken to Kickstarter to develop Siboot, a game based less on dexterity or intelligence and more on intuition and reading others' emotional cues. In Siboot you're playing as one of four political rivals seeking to gain control of a colony on a remote and desolate alien world. Do whatever you can to succeed: gossip, lie, threaten, manipulate and otherwise use your enemies' own weaknesses against them in debates and other forms of political machinations. Sounds like fun, no?"
