I don't recall arguing with anyone. This has been more observing and asking (also answering) questions in my view. My initial post in this thread was to say you had outlined your points very well and that little could be added to that - and to suggest you look into KS a bit more before making the kinds of statements you were. Since then you have not only added but repeated and made your point many times.
You did ask some good questions, why not wait for an answer to them without all the wild speculation? Why bring your thread to near irreparable silliness with the attacks and constant chant of anti-DRM? I mean like it or not you will get an answer. It doesn't matter how many times you say you will not support them.
Based on that, I guess, you're right. Something that *might* have prevented a lot of debate here, would be to accept the gospel of Kickstarter. Evidently, it's inappropriate to assume that a company that must beg for money on KS is financially unhealthy. Fine. But, the only reason I made that assumption - apart from the fact that Auran went tits up once - is that, people who have the money don't have to beg for money.
Okay, so I'll give you that KS doesn't necessarily indicate financial unhealthiness.
