Prodos were themselves stiffed by 20th century fox.  They renamed themselves to distance themselves from the Prodos brand rather than “get away with it” a very sensible decision.  While people don’t like hearing this, there’s not really anything to “get away with” – you are guaranteed literally nothing when you back a kickstarter.   Promised, sure. Guaranteed, no.

Prodos ran a kickstarter that went massively wrong, mostly due to lack of experience dealing with a studio and license conditions.  Every kickstarter Archon have run to date seems to have performed reasonably well and their plastic casting arm is also doing well.  I would assess them as a medium low risk when backing.  And I like to consider myself a fairly good judge of these things, having backed almost 100 kickstarters and had only three fail to deliver.  In fact, Archon actually rescued one of the three that failed seeing as the bailed out the Ninja Division Star Finder miniatures kickstarter AND honoured pledges for the kickstarter despite not actually receiving the funds raised by the kickstarter
