Spending money on an underdeveloped, overpromised game is not

Seems like a serious trend with big money crowdfunded deals. Kickstarter handlers are partly to blame in pushing for stretch goals to bump up funding. That's the exact opposite of scoping out a project, if not downright suicidal from a design point of view. I would seriously question any [large] team or studio that didn't have a head of finance to break down any sort of budget.

Backers watch the videos, read the lore, scrutinize ships in their hangars, practice their flight combat, and dream about what they'll do once the Ultimate Science Fiction Game is complete

The dark future of gaming: Expensive metagame where you pay thy vows to tech demos? Bitter, and one-sided, but it's disheartening to see people get taken for a ride like that.
