    Knowing nothing about this, I hope the lawsuit fails. Isn’t the whole point of crowd funding that you’re putting your money in what you believe in, despite no guarantees?

      You’re right about the whole point of crowd-funding, its just the first sentence you got wrong in case youre worried about the downdoots.

      If it was the donators/funders/whatever you’d call them suing I think we’d all agree with you

      no it’s the payment platform not giving the money to the developers…

      The developers are proceeding as planned but they’d like the money paid to them

      The developers are suing. Their crowdfunding gathered 340k for them, but the crowdfunding platform has only sent half of it.

      I interpreted the article to mean that the developers are suing the crowd funding platform. It appears that the platform hasn’t given the majority of the money that was crowd sourced to the developers.

      Classic Lemmy moment. Wishing harm on others for their differing, obviously inferior beliefs and morals.
