Wow! a bunch of people put in $10,000...

It wouldn't surprise me if that was the developers themselves and that was the money they used to buy their rights back.

That doesn't make any sense. They're going to claim their own $10,000 slots and pay Kickstarter their cut on their own money?

Your right I guess, I didn't think about that. Having said that if I was going to donate that kind of money to something I'd probably just cut them a cheque rather than putting it through a website.

By the way - the cut appears to be 5%.

Plus the payment processor's cut. Another 5%.

I doubt that's the explanation. But I don't doubt that either it's (a) astroturfing (fake), or (b) there really are a few people out there who are fans and have FU money to spend. (Think: FU money in the hands of successful techie biz owners, they do exist, and they have played computer games.)
