That's the inherent nature of KS. Does it really need to be brought up time and time again?

> Who's making it clear though?

KickStarter. The wording they use (pledges), funding, and even the warning on their payment page. Even on the main project pages, even the rewards aren't a promise. Hell, even the date isn't a promise.

So, what more can they do?

Hell, even you assert that the backers read through everything!

> I disagree heavily.

If this were the case, then people wouldn't be confused about what KickStarter is.

Sorry, but every time I see a complain like this come out, it's always based on fantasies and delusions. Not reality.
