#3Once ChromeOS started adding support for Android apps, the use case for this (Android on a laptop) became even more questionable than it was already.

#5Take money from 'community', develop using that and get famous, get enterprise funding, stop community project and return the 'community money'. Good idea.

I was thinking exactly the same thing ... the Kickstarter backers were essentially Angel investors or VCs who put up the money but didn't get a stake in the company. That's a pretty good deal for the founders!

From my experience seeing games on kickstarter, this is pretty much what is reasonable to expect.
I mean the whole model is 1. Get money from community to fund game development 2. Sell the game again after, for extra profit, because why not
And somewhere along the way there's usually a total mis-estimation of funds and resources
At least here something was given back to the "community"...
The entire crowdfunding platform is absurdity; I'm not really sure what people are thinking when they use it. Nothing given back to community, significant risk of failure, no real quality control or even a basic measure to meet, and extremely hype-cycled. Its mostly just a platform to give away your money for empty promises...

The totality of this statement is what's absurd. There's some good stuff on Kickstarter etc., but Sturgeon's Law applies: 90% of everything is crap.

#9I have a remix mini attached to our TV. It's been a fine device for what we use it for- watching movies and TV shows from Google Play and the occasional ABC iView show. Sorry to see them exiting this space.

Well, some projects "forget" step 5, so at least there's that.
