Kickstarter announces they are "not a store". In an effort to highlight the (not-always-obvious) risks that their audience faces when backing creators (especially with those creators looking for hardware/software backing), the crowd-funding service is enforcing new "changes" for creators when developing their pitches.
These rules include:
- A new "Risks and Challenges" section that creators must complete, giving people the ability to judge a creator's ability to do what they say in an honest manner.
- Product simulations are prohibited!
- Product renderings are prohibited!
- Offering multiple quantities of an award.
Read up on these changes and follow some of the interesting comments on the Kickstarter's blog post.
