I really don't get kickstarters.
If you believe in your product, then go ahead a make it. I guess you would only ask for a kickstart, if you feel your product sucks.

They are making software, the only investment is time.

I have my own business, and we don't ask for kickstarters.

If you can't convince a business angel, venture capitalists or the bank that you have a good product, then maybe you just don't have a good product.

and how many kickstarters fail?
Work on your business plan if you can't get investors to see the same ligth as you do.

And by the way, it is possible to develop software in your spare time.

Well I would say that 50k proves there is no market for it. So my point is valid, their idea sucked.

I never said that providing your own funding is wrong, you need to read exactly what I write not what you think I write.
If you have a great idea, then fine go ahead, but if every normal investor, including the bank says no, then maybe your idea isnt that great.
You know lots of these investors have experience with telling good ideas from bad ideas.

If the project gets as much support, direct from the people who actually want it, as the Shadowrun or Wasteland projects did.

But they don't.
