Quoted from rosh:John went into this without the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to do it. His inability to create a team that could work together as well as bring in the individuals needed to make it happen, is his biggest weakness. It is hard to understand how he could understand he needed a developer, an artist, etc. but not a business manager and a project manager. But I guess he did not want the latter two, since he did not want anyone who would tell him what to do and how to do it.
At the end of the day, it was his ego and need for control that made failure a fait accompli
This combined with the easy & "free" crowd funding money. If he was backed by personal savings, you know it would have gone way different.
