Dyack has been legally binded to due many things financially he hasn't done in the past, that's what led to SK's demise. Also he's not using Kickstarter, Canadians can't, so I'm not sure what exactly will be used for raising the money. It will also cause him to be exempt from the normal Kickstarter rules. He's had a history of mismanaging funds and not exactly following protocol for money given to him, so I don't think he'll just take the money and run or anything that drastic, but really a game like this would've been better off funded by a major company. Preferably Nintendo, they were likely the reason ED was so good in the first place, because SK usually didn't make phenomenal games. Anyway, not trying to be pessimistic, just cautious. There are a lot of things up in the air with this now.
And yeah, him documenting his expenditures would be great, but I doubt that'll happen.
