Completely agree with Dave, and I have the same experience as Fungus, The Tiko 3D printer is a good example of it, they are late, but since the beginning they were updated at least on a monthly basis, explaining as much as they can, etc.. and even tell the backer long before the original deadline that some part was not working as, but the worked as hard as possible to get it in time, then that it may shift a bit, etc..
With all that sort of picture like John is ranting against the Chinese worker, John is happy to show you the mould use for that part of the printer, John is ...
Same with the CHIP kickstarter, they weren't late, but kept the backer entertained by showing informations about what they are doing.
Same with the PebbleBee kickstarter, they are completely out of delay for one of the product, but they kept us informed when they can, they even completely redraw/re-spec it and finally send this product earlier this week.
That what make a good KS campaign, Bateroo is clearly doing something really wrong, but I don't completely agree with you Dave, what they are doing right know, they were already doing that from the beginning, they just stopped playing as they seems to be no longer interested in their product.
Comment deletion and false claim was there from the beginning
