Kickstarter gaming project bounced after audience cries foul

Jessica Conditt for Joystiq:

Westfall (or so he calls himself) began a Kickstarter for Mythic: The Story of Gods and Men, an RPG from Little Monster Productions to rival World of Warcraft and Skyrim, built by a team of former Activision Blizzard developers. The project asked for $80,000 and it had raised $5,000 until, three days ago, it was canceled. Little Monster didn’t say why it was canned, but backers accused the whole thing of being fake.

Street justice!
