This goes at least as far back as its Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns where it raised $390K and $394K respectively starting in Jan-Feb 2018.

I have no connection to these guys, I didn't even back either of those campaigns. Just thought it was neat. Apparently I'm a shill for mentioning how this project got off the ground. 🤷

Kickstarter is a platform for scams.

I backed Shovel Knight and 3d printed minis on KS, I got both of those plus helped launch those companies which have continued to make products. It's a bit like saying the internet is full of scams, yes it is, but if you know how to avoid them you need not fear.

I backed a few products there, from fountain pens to books, and most of them were Chinese stuff that I found on Aliexpress after. I would suggest backing anything on kickstarter unfortunately

Manufacturers in China actually look at Kickstarter campaigns for ideas. Stuff like the Fidget Cube was ripped off and manufactured en masse in China and shipped to the US before the legitimate Fidget Cube was able to finish their kickstarter campaign and ship units.

No no, I mean the exact same product, just rebranded for kisckstarter.

Kickstarter is investing in a startup. It's not a pre-order platform. You may be using it incorrectly.

As I’m saying, most of the things there are a scam.
