Yeah, I know how you feel man. I haven't given up on Bloodstained yet, 'cause I know how hard 505 is working to make it a success and I'm confident, given their experience and resources, that they'll do so. But given the problems even my successful Kickstarters have run into, I've completely lost faith in crowdfunding as a practical means of game development. I still toss little bits of money at projects I like (12 dollars for Forsaken Castle and Dark Devotion, 27 to Xenonauts 2, and the most I'll give is 65 dollars for an artbook for Blasphemous), but Phoenix Point is probably gonna be the last project I give over a hundred dollars to.
