I think QFI is a scam! I demand my money back!
In all seriousness, though, one thing that I keep telling people is that Kickstarter is an investment and NOT a pre-order. It seems to me that the most vocal complainers are those who only paid to get the game itself.
I know it's a shameless plug, but you might be interested in reading my own retrospective article on Kickstarter:
