Yeah “Failure” is a very Sujective term I think. Fail-to-fund is not Failure at all in my book. I mean how can it fail if it never even started? I guess the campaign to raise funds failed, sure, and I guess that is what Kickstarte themselves care about, since they pride themselves a platform to launch campaigns from. But as a potential Backer, the only failure I would count is “they got my money and I got nothing back.”

I got only 1/44 of those so far.

Then ther’s the “in-between” cases… If they got your money and you got the product but it was abysmally bad and hardly even usefull… is that failure? Failure to deliver what they said they would?

I got 1/44 of those as well.

If the Project is cancelled by the owner before the end of the fund drive, is that failure?

I got 2/44 of these.
