I shrug it off -- I even say as much in my article.<br /><br />The pageantry is not to my taste, but I realize it's sometimes necessary for these things to work. You want to get the attention of a crowd? One way to do it is to throw a circus.<br /><br />But this is why I write negative things about Kickstarter: because I want it to mature sooner, rather than later. There are things that are broken about it. Kickstarter often annoys me, it often disappoints me, it often angers me. But I don't hate it. I would rather live in our world with Kickstarter than the same world without it.Darius Kazemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01646249933207430061noreply@blogger.com
