The fact you only pay the money when the goal has been met, the fact it has the technology and infrastructure to maintain these high finance investment project is also worth time and money. So no, doing it themselves is not an option. Kickstarter doesn't "get" just 10% for doing nothing, the website itself has a technological, administrative and infrastructural backend that costs money to maintain. There is a reason kickstarter has gotten so big: what they are doing isnt easy to do on your own. Thats why companies like Double Fine or the Wasteland 2 guys go there, and these are companies that are several sizes that of FS.I've heard prior from other kickstarterprojects between 5 to 10% of billing charges bounce. Say out of the total amount (77.500?) about 7.5% of the creditcard charges got denied. That leaves 71.688, minus 55000 for the original funding of TZ. Leaves 16668, take out 10% of what kickstarter gets over THAT amount and you are at 15019 already.</blockquote>
