Reply To: (KS) Ninja Division/Soda Pop out of money for Super Dungeon Explore: Legends

I get what you’re saying, but if anything they say is true (and they did offer documentation to the AG) then they did not profit from all of this.  US law is not designed to punish people for making poor business decisions.

The SDL Kickstarter has sunk Ninja Division’s best selling property.  The guys at Sodapop have not profited from this, and Ninja Division has really suffered.  If they don’t start turning this around relatively soon, I think they’ll be closing their doors.  And they can’t turn it around completely without fulfilling Legends.

Kickstarter cannot hold its creators responsible without taking responsibility for their actions.  If KS takes responsibility for their creators, then they have to be gatekeepers for the projects, and if there are gatekeepers like that, it defeats the purpose of Kickstarter.

Should SPM have behaved differently?  Yes, in quite a few ways.  But that doesn’t equate to criminal actions.
