Technically, no, but they broke the law and Kickstarter rules by:

Scam? Maybe. I do know that on Kickstarter there’s a whole hell of a lot of, let’s call it “inspiration,” taken from other board games.  I’ve often played a “new” game and wondered if I’d played it before only to realize that it’s remarkably similar to a “new” game from a few months ago.  

Nope, not at all. It IS a good reason to do your homework and research what you’re putting your money into though. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Read the article and draw your own conclusions.

“We want to get the license to make a Dr. Horrible game, but lack the money.”
“Well... why not just Kickstart the game, and buy the license with that money?”
“But... we need the license FIRST to be able to Kickstart the game.”
“....do we?”
“Yes.”
“...dooooo weee?” <eyebrow waggle>
“Yes!”

I whole-heartedly disagree. He was a pretty awesome character, and I actually *did* ask for his figure for Christmas. I loved the way he took a totally different approach to the Emissary. He didn't make Sisko feel uncomfortable, didn't act all worshippy toward him nor did he react with animosity to a non-Bajoran being…

This and the Morn “action” figure were probably hot commodities on the playgrounds of 1996.

Enterprise suffered from the same thing Voyager had issues with, the writers weren’t actually interested in writing the story they sold the show on.

All these years later, and I still can’t believe that pogs were a thing that happened. 

I liked this exchange as well

The Federation has always been a stand-in for the myth of America. That’s why those who oppose it or act outside of that myth are eventually proven wrong. Even in Discovery, which is trying to be a bit more grey about it, in the end they hoorah!-ed it.

Because Star Trek is wholly invested in a weird sort of cosmic Manifest Destiny, where the viewpoints of humans are dominant and slowly but surely, crush all opposition?

Star Trek has been ‘PC’ since 1966 you petaQ

Most of the Quark centric episodes of DS9 were from Quark’s point of view giving for the most part a Ferengi viewpoint of the Federation. Heck this exchange between Quark and Garak is the best description of the Federation from an outsiders point of view
