MIDWEST LAN KICKSTARTER

This doesn't cost money...if you want to lan with some friends do it, if not, don't. Should people pay for my gas to drive over to my friend mikes house so we can play co op? No...just no, and since this is not actually a project that creates anything it should be taken down but Kickstarter gave up on even pretending to check it's projects.

Actually Kickstarter is completely for these kinds of projects too. It's a tangible event that needs funding to run. You could compare it to, for example, a festival of some sort. It's not like it's a couple of buddies organising a LAN for their inner circle. It's an open event.

I mean Dreamhack is also a LAN.

Kickstarter does not check/review projects before launch anymore...so they will just take anything if it can make them money, like this mess which will not make them money.
