Oculus Rift wouldn't get through new Kickstarter rules

[wraggster]

An eagerly awaited virtual reality product that’s making its way to retail thanks to crowdfunding would not have been possible under Kickstarter’s new rules, the project’s creator claims.
The Oculus Rift virtual reality headset promises to be a gateway to immersive game experiences, and over 9,000 backers believed the hype, leading the project to shatter its goal of $250,000 with more than $2.4 million pledged.

Its original campaign used renders and video simulations to show the vision for the final product. Under Kickstarter’s new rules such methods are no longer allowed to be used in campaigns.
“Under the current rules, if we tried to submit our Kickstarter [for Oculus] again, it probably wouldn’t even get through,” Oculus founder Palmer Luckey told Develop.
Luckey praised Kickstarter and said it was the “easiest way for us to set up a system where everyone could collaborate, get updates and set up pre-orders”.
