Didn't Fargo say kickstarter has some valuation process before the projects can go online?

I guess the owners of Kickstarter wouldn't mind getting 19mln.

Or trolling the shit out of the backers by just denying the offer after the project is funded :hero:

Yes it did.

He seemed to overestimate this effort then.

According to this 2 kickstarter examples in this thread it was probably like this:

KS: Though, you're a middleaged man who wants to make some project on kickstarter? How much do you want?
Fargo: Yes and I need 1 mio.
KS: k

But well, he can still hold the pizza parties even if his Kickstarter fund was rotting in the bank so everyone'll be happy. And I like how he says "I would like to buy" and not "I will buy".

Yeah I highly doubt Kickstarter is very picky about what they accept. If they let DoubleChin the Millionaire put that abomination of a kickstarter up they probably don't give 2 shits. It's free money for them if its funded and no loss if it isn't.

They should be more picky. If they let kickstarters go through and get funded that don't succeed in making product it erodes faith in the kickstarter model.

I think that they are being intentionally ambiguous with letting that project go through, or someone has been massively slacking/ not paying attention.

I have this idea : porn kickstarter. I'm going to put up a kickstarter so that people pay me to have sex with women. And I will release it. I'm sure it can work.

Does this stupid 'tard realize that MMOs such as WoW and TOR cost $200,000,000/- + to make? How the FUCK is he going to compete with them using just one milliion dollars?

I think that 2 minute clip was more a look into his personal life than it was a explanation about his 'game.'
