I was more concerned about how KS has shifted. Yes, within the minds of BACKERS it's become more like pre-order, but also in the minds of PROJECT MANAGERS it has become seemingly a neat space where failure is no big deal because "hey, read the KS rules"
I personally understand that KS was never meant to be a pre-order system, but if they want to return to that maybe CAP backer amounts at $10. Because you can remind people of the noble goals and the explicit rules, but when someone asks for a substantial amount - - $30? $50? $400??! - - - you absolutely cannot reasonably expect that people all see this as a noble 'gift' to a project.
Again, I get the intent, the implied intent, and the EXPLICIT guidelines, but if you tell me you want to deliver X and if I give you $Y you will send me this specific thing....
... You want a dollar from me to get something started...no problem - here's the buck and I expect nothing.
