Won’t be long before she publicly cries about reddit being mean to her, also, why the fuck does she need a kickstarter? Is she as terrible at managing her money as she is at acting?
Celebrities don’t like spending their own money… In 2013-14 there was that Veronica Mars movie, it was put on Kickstarter even though the star and director are both well off, not movie star money but well off, they could have funded that movie if they wanted to make it. They ended up with 6 million in funding, only recovered about half of that when it released, it’s a risky gamble if you are using your own money instead of other peoples.
Which is kind of the original point of Kickstarter. It was meant to be used to fund projects that don’t necessarily have great commercial prospects, but still have an audience that would like that thing to exist. That’s why you don’t invest in something on Kickstarter, you back it. Investors expect ROI; backers do it for the public good.

That was my first thought. Like youve been UFC and WWE champion. You probably got a shit tonne of money for MK11… Use your own damn money!

Kickstarter is largely used to market and gage interest while setting up a very early preorder list.
Almost no media project is actually funded solely through Kickstarter anymore, especially not for physical media like comics or board games.
Learned that after Brian Pulido’s 284756th Lady Death kickstarter. 8 was my limit.
I actually almost only get board games I’m hype about from KS these days, that’s how I know.
Board game fighting game BattleCon for instance, which I heartily recommend.
