Eh, I chucked them $50 or whatever it was for what was clearly a 10+ year project (at the time I gave them my money). I've had fun playing the modules already released but if they never deliver a full game I can think of worse things I've spend $50 on.

I've always seen crowd funding as chucking a little money at an idea that interests you, if it works then cool, if not then it wasn't (and shouldn't ever be) an amount I'm going to lose sleep over.

As for the people spending thousands of dollars on promised future digital shiny things? I just don't understand it, why are you paying money for virtual things that don't exist yet in a game that doesn't even exist yet? But then I've never understood the (reasonably) recent trend for paying hundreds/thousands of dollars on cosmetic items for games that you're actually playing so maybe I'm missing something.
