Kickstarter Launches Drive To Raise Funds Supporting Refugees
If you have an idea for a film or an invention but you don't have the money to do, Kickstarter may be an option. But if you're trying to handle the most complex humanitarian crisis since World War II, well, the White House thinks Kickstarter could help there too. This week, the crowdfunding site broke its own rules after being approached by the White House. It launched its first-ever charitable drive to help with the refugee crisis.

Laser razor thrown off Kickstarter because it doesn't exist
Bad news if you want to burn hairs off your face using a laser: Kickstarter has pulled the fundraising page for the “Skarp” laser razor, despite the project having already raised $4m on the crowdfunding platform. Kickstarter’s reasoning is fairly straightforward, however: the Skarp doesn’t actually exist.

Kickstarter hires investigative journalist to look into Zano's failed drone project
The Zano nano drone was one of the top 20 most-funded Kickstarter campaigns in history, pulling in over $3.5 million in pledges from more than 12,000 backers. If you read the Kickstarter story I wrote late last month, you already know that Zano is one of two high-profile campaigns that have fallen on hard times. In the case of Zano, the project has folded completely after shipping just 600 of the 15,000 nano drones promised to backers.

With $100M In Crowdfunding, 'Star Citizen' May Not Be A Scam, But It Feels Like A Cult
Star Citizen, the upcoming space sim from Wing Commander creator Chris Roberts, has hit a milestone that seems almost too ridiculous to be believed. It just passed $100M in funding. Not just funding, but crowdfunding, as supporters of the game have taken the budget into the stratosphere not just through traditional support through avenues like Kickstarter, but by pre-purchasing ships and founders packages which range from a few dollars to seemingly ludicrous $15,000 bundles. But they’re selling.

How my Kickstarter blew up my life
In October 2014, I raised nearly $150,000 on my first crowdfunding campaign. Three months later, when I was in my final year of college and 21 years old, I wished I’d never heard of Kickstarter. I’d committed the cardinal sin of crowdfunding by shipping a shit product to over 2,500 people who’d backed my campaign. It’s now March 2016, and my backers are back to being huge supporters. I’ve built a thriving business and somehow...

Kickstarter’s Biggest Shitshow Somehow Got Even Messier
A decidedly not chill development for 36,000 Kickstarter backers of the “Coolest Cooler”: Coolest is now considering asking people who haven’t yet received their coolers to pay an additional $97 for “expedited delivery” of the long-past-due all-in-one disaster, a prospect that has allegedly led some backers to threaten Coolest employees. If you’re not familiar, at the time it launched, the Coolest Cooler was the most popular Kickstarter of all time...

The Darkest Day: The Mysterious Drama of Dark Day Interactive
It was a warm summer day late in 2013, typical for the upside down Australia. Halfway across the globe, far to the north, it was an equally typical nippy day in jolly England. Two men, Mark Hann from Australia, and Matt Venner from Britain came together and found Inactive Pixel Studios. From these humble beginnings are planted the seeds of lies, drama, Kickstarter scams, asset flips, and allegations of fraud .
