I find that I can sometimes renew my enthusiasm for a long-delayed Kickstarter game, if the miniatures and/or other shiny bits remind me why I wanted it in the first place. However, I have sold on more than my fair share of crowdfunded games that ended up disappointing, to the point that I’m pretty much done with crowdfunding, except in extraordinary circumstances. I am finding that I would rather wait until I can read some reviews before I buy into a new game, and I have enough to do that FOMO isn’t really a factor for me. I’m at the point where I’ll risk missing out on a good game if it means I didn’t back a crappy one.

@jeffersonpowers  not spending money on crowdfunding and putting it into “known good stuff” feels like the way to go. Either the crowdfunding is successful and comes to stores than you can join in at that point or it’s a “KS exclusive” which is IMHO not worth it anyway for games because where is the point when nobody can join in later?
