    Do you know anyone who has been paid back by her? 

    Someone who accepts money and spunks it away producing shit all is not 'too honest'. 
    From everything I've read she strikes me as less dishonest, more bad at running a business and overall really quite sheepish as to how badly she screwed it up.

    Without trying to drag this into a larger issue (or Billy Corganesque territory),  the principle of using Kickstarter annoyed.me.  It wasn't just Kickstarter she had going but a simultaneous one for her sex change, although she only raised $2,844 of the $36,000 goal.  Still though that is £43,736 that she made off the back of people's generous backing.  I consider Kickstarter a great opportunity for new small business concepts, not for businesses to fund new products risk free.  She was already well established, had plenty of publicity and a range of existing products.  I think both her approach and subsequent behaviour is damaging to Kickstarter style funding.  I know people will always say that Kickstarter is not a guaranteed investment, but I consider there to be a massive difference between someone working their arse off but the idea failing compared to raising over twice your funding goal and then just saying you spunked the money because "I gotta live!".

    The final twist is I would happily bet that she'll be back on some funding website once she gets her 8 bit games on the roll.

    I've read so much of Devi's bullshit over the years that I don't believe a word she says. The number of times she'd have a hissy fit at HCFX, shoot her mouth off, declare she was finished, and then return back a few months later. The same Devi who railed at PGS about their business ethics....


    Devi giving ethical advice. Giggle. 

    It's a thin line between dishonesty and bad business practice.

    Jesus Christ. Maybe I should open one of these things. Support Juan in his attempts not to return to the tedium and monotony of the IT profession to build a pedal empire! Send money and I promise I won't use it to fund another couple of sets of wheels for the race car. Honest...

    I didn't say she was sheepish about begging, just about the fact that she fucked it into a cocked had and had to eat crow in public.

    The choice quote:

    "Such anxiety about the idea of getting a day job that I...I, uh...yeah, it's been hard. I've been suicidal, I've been like there's no way I can do a day job because I don't want to fuckin' do a day job, I wanna make video games". 

    Good news about the sex cams though. It's about time other pedal builders did likewise and I for one want to see Pete Cornish jacking off online.

    If it sounds like I'm attacking Devi, then I'm sorry. I actually feel sorry for her as it seems like she has a ton of issues going on emotionally. I just don't like what she did with Kickstarter and now appears to be doing elsewhere.

    @joeyowen After the Kickstarter debacle, Devi sold the effects business, got some money in that way, and according to her podcast earns $100 a day doing sex cam work.
