Have you ever been ripped off on Kickstarter?
I just got into the site and backed quite a few projects. Have you ever contributed money but not received the reward promised?

So I guess no.
I've never had a problem with Kickstarter myself. I have backed only a couple of projects, though. On one project, the reward came late but I did receive an email with an explanation as to why it was delayed. The reward was a piece of original art, and was well worth the wait.
I've backed way too many projects, and now I'm trying to watch myself. I haven't been ripped off yet, fortunately.

Have you ever ripped a book apart because the ending was bad?I once read a book where the main character died, his wife was raped and died during childbirth, all of his fellow heroes died, and his kingdom was plunged into chaos.
