Reply To: Bad news for backers of the Ninja Division Kickstarters

I do wonder where the heck the money went … because the products apparently got made and are now being helt hostage by Archon.
There’s bound to be a legal reason for this, but it kind of reads like two kids fighting over toys.

I suspect Archon is in trouble themselves as a result of ND’s issues.
Or they are acting like this because they’ve been through this kind of stuff before and are using threats of legal action to cover their own behinds.

The worst part is that apparently at least one of the kickstarters could be completed …

I hope any industry insiders can shed a bit of light on the situation.

It is yet another reminder that Kickstarters are risky even if they are funded.
Just like real investments to be honest … except we can’t threaten legal action (and even if we could the percentage we’re owed is like threatening a big company after buying a single share … ;-))

@onlyonepinman :

IIRC the problem for ND was that their primary IP (Dungeon Explorer series ?) wasn’t performing as expected.
This may have had an indirect effect on their ability to complete kickstarters.
It is hard to stay afloat when the foundation of your business is failing.
