I for one like a surprise now and then.

I've backed titles that sounded unusual just because they sounded unusual:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1698219403/stygian-a-lo...

The first I haven't played yet, the second was a nice surprise.

I've also backed niche games that are out of fashion:

This one failed to get enough backers. I've backed more adventure games that didn't fail and enjoyed some of them.

Yes, every single project I backed was late. So what?

And yes, I have a games backlog that I won't finish in my lifetime. Thank 90% off sales :)
