Yeah, I don't think PayPal has troll pledgers, once you pay I think that's it.

Im seriously thinking Masaya Matsukaze trolled the jacket tier so he would get it back at the end of the KS.

We'd be hearing from that backer if he pulled a stunt like that.

Trolls be trollin'... We kinda expected it tbh. The last laugh is on them because we'll be offered them as Paypal rewards.

So all's good. Will be donating $300-$500 a month and anything else I can afford in between 8)

Payments are instant from bank accounts. There's no way a troll can get his rocks off on this one.

Someone on the stream said Kickstarter should have a queuing system for the rewards, so if someone backs out it just goes to the next in line. Seems like a good idea to me. Either way, I'm glad a PayPal option has been announced as something tells me I'll be making some more donations.

Kind of a flawed system. There are several easy solutions to fix this... for example
- you can't back out in the last hour, only go higher
- queuing system
- you have to pledge at least 10% of your highest pledge

they probably did psychological studies and found pledges would be less likely in those situations as any kind of immediate up front risk could subconsciously cause people not to pledge...

.. i just made that up.. they seem like obvious solutions so there must be some reason they ain't doing it.

Shame on kickstarter.com. How can they let things like that ?

You can't blame Kickstarter for that really, internet trolling is endemic but they can't really adjust the terms of service to account for it without impinging on the rights of genuine customers.

It's a pledge, not a charge until after it ends.

If Shenmue IV needs a KS then it's because Shenmue III sold almost no copies at retail.

I'm actually surprised there were only two major troll donations. I was expecting much worse.

Same. I had this horrific thought that we'd lose hundreds of thousands in the last hour.
