Yes, that's the reason I did not go straight in also - "It’s a multiplayer power-struggle the way it should be."

new $5 pledge tier: Katamari Damarcy creator Keita Takahasi's new game

Defo +1

Did raise this with Kickstarter and received the following response:

"Thanks for writing in and I'm sorry about the inconvenience of not being able to use Amazon Payments for UK projects. As I'm sure you're aware, the Kickstarter website is constantly evolving. User feedback is what helps makes our site better and we greatly appreciate it. I'll pass it along!"

So I guess if enough people request this (via the "Contact" link at the bottom of each KS page) they'll add it in.

Aside from avoiding Amazon's fees (some saving there, but they still have to pay credit-card processing fees - typically 3-4%) none of that really applies to offering Amazon Payments as an option.

To be fair, a similar argument could apply to GOG also, however my current approach is to limit online transactions to a few sites only, making it easier to check CC statements later on (as well as lessening the chance of fraud due to website compromise). KS' online security is an unknown quantity at this stage and given the amount I've been pledging lately, it's a big-ticket item on my statements.

6 days left to save Spud's Quest! :(

Looked cool, but the limited and sold out $20 tier and no intention of making additional spots available killed my interest.

Sorry to hear it's not working out :( It seems like it's mostly bad luck here...

Hey would you all prefer to see the main list sorted out according to ending date or by alphabetical order?

Ending date.

Done. Let me know what you think.

Much better! It's brought the interesting looking "limit theory" to my attention, which I have now backed.

Very nice!

It's true that if it's optional it's less of an issue, but it still complicates their operation. I imagine that in the long run they'd prefer to switch the US site to their own system too.
I like it.

I noticed that Unusual Heroes is still on the list, even though it was cancelled.

Ok I've removed Unusual Heroes, thanks.
