Kickstarter Bans Product For Not Existing

Kickstarter and vaporware go hand-in-hand, but as it turns out, there is a limit. That limit is a laser-powered razor with no good prototype.

According to an email sent to backers and obtained by The Register, Kickstarter has suspended the Laser Razor project after deciding it’s “in violation of our rule requiring working prototypes of physical products that are offered as rewards.”
