At the very worst it was a scam, at the very least it was dishonest.

And as for Indie Stone being eager to support the campaign, it's free publicity. And it obviously worked (but may have bit them in the ass). When was the last time you heard Project Zomboid in the news? I wouldn't be so quick to say they were in on it as I would be to say they are opportunists.

And their blog post seems to indicate they were unaware of Chloe's (possible) deception: http://projectzomboid.com/blog/index.php/2013/04/announcement-re-indiegogo/

Unless Chloe/IndieGoGo are more upfront with what's going on, they plan on donating all of the money to another charity but also will honor refunds, of which will come out of their pocket.

She probably should have just said the real reason why she needed this surgery. I know she's worried about privacy issues and likely didn't want to come out as a transexual, but you're probably going to have to compromise on some things if you want strangers to fund your surgery using a public campaign.

interesting comment from a law student who says the timeline doesnt make sense: http://www.eurogamer.net/profiles/insolent/comments/1570540

Oh, I wasn't at all implying that TIS was "in" on it, just that in seeing an opportunity for publicity, they were too quick to add their support and thus legitimizing the campaign without doing any research at all.

I've been following this game for a few months now. The developer hinted at Kickstarter but I definitely pulled a Shocked when I saw the initial goal. Hope they make it, I'll be pledging a few bucks.

The original Age of Empires!
KS keeps disappointing me everyday for not proposing a retro-clone of that.
