[WP] indie game developer makes convincing demos, gets funding on Kickstarter then takes off without finishing the games. One day a backer finds and forces them to complete their dream game. (lemmy.ca)

The developer is talented but lacks the confidence to complete their work. Out of desperation they resort to the 'easy way out' and develop demos to scam supporters with no intention of shipping a finished game. Can one supporter whose belief in them/blackmail be enough to change their ways and finish what will undoubtedly be a smash hit?
