The writer describes the people who contributed to that Oculus Rift Kickstarter as "up in arms" - but he offers no evidence or examples of this in the article. I'm getting the sense *he* contributed and *he's* "up in arms". Whiny person is whiny.

He misses the entire point of Kickstarter - it's basically a donation to a cause or project you feel strongly about or a product you'd like to see made. You might get a minor perk for different levels of contribution but the most reward is just a sense that you helped make it happen. It never ever pretended to be anything different.

If you want to genuinely invest in a company there are PLENTY of places and methods to do so. Kickstarter is not that and never has been and neither presented itself as such.
