Could also be that Kickstarter wants the 10% gratuity for doing nothing. They must be losing some of the potential gloabl market place for such aspirations. Indiegogo, GoFundMe, Crowdrise, BuzZbnk, Fundly, I'm not even doing this horrifically long list justice. There are tens of dozens of crowd-funding sites now. Look at what GPD Win did with their latest handheld. They hit a half-dozen sites with their product. Maybe Kickstarter started out with the greatest intentions of their own, but in order to make money? They might just look the other way. #greed
As I mentioned before, Skarp showed a prototype also, it was orders of magnitude better than what PGS showed. So if you are looking for precedence, there's that.
Lets be honest here, if a number of people complained to KS, and KS actually got around to seeing those complaints amongst the zillions they must get everyday. Then I'd find it hard to believe they would not toss the PGS project for breaking that rule. Hard to argue a tablet and ipega controller with a rough shell are in the spirit of the rule to explicitly show a working prototype.
That would be like me starting a KS to develop a car, only for me to show a Ford Explorer with doors I made out of foam and said, yep, explicit prototype. It aint going to fly.
By the way, to anyone reading this, I do not condone reporting them.
