Ya this is unfortunate but typical of so many kickstarter games. Back around 2011-2012 when kickstarter games were really taking off I backed quite a few.

Many of these were individuals or tiny groups with little or no real world experience in industry so no experience with project management; it’s really no wonder.

That’s just the problem with multiplayer games
Concord could be great but you need to have enough players to form a game
