What Causes a Developer's Kickstarter to Fail?

GP Editor Marcus Estrada discusses the nature of Kickstarter when used by videogame developers and how the recent example of the Class of Heroes 2 Kickstarter failing to reach its target fundraising amount shows that developers need to exercise caution when using it.

bottom line:
"Quite simply, the trend seems to be that people are most likely to contribute to a project when they have some idea of what they're getting"

very well explained reasons for the failure of Class of Heroes 2, mostly on MonkeyPaw.

i really wish they or someone else try again with one or more of these games:
Valkuria Chronicles 3
FF13 agito
Suikoden PSP
Frontier Gate

I'm still hoping Square Enix will announce FF13 Agito (or Type-0 as it's now known) in the West, but this probably one of the longest waits we've had between Japanese and Western releases, so I'm really worried about it.

I imagine there's probably quite a bit to localize, not to mention the fact that PSP is a bit of a dead system over here now, so if anything, that's why they wouldn't bring it over.
