5 years after launching the Mekton 0 Kickstarter, R Talsorian Games (Mike Pondsmith) has decided to refund backers. No release date in sight for Mekton 0.
The Mekton 0 kickstarter page recieved an updated yesterday for the first time since October 2017. I've linked the update below, but it's "backers only" so I'll also quote the important parts of the text.

Which leads to this decision. While I still intend to finish Mekton Zero, I have come to the conclusion that it is not fair for me to continue to commit the time and money you have invested in this project any longer, or to make you wait until I wrap Mekton Zero up.
Therefore I'm going to REFUND everyone who has committed money to this project (and who hasn't already taken advantage of our previous buy out offer). We are in the process right now of setting this up (via Paypal) and sending out refunds to all of you. If you no longer have a Paypal account or have changed email addresses, please contact us through this site and let us know to make other arrangements.
We WILL finish Mekton Zero, but since how long that will take is indeterminate (due to all these other commitments), I feel this is the best option for now.
However, when Zero finishes, EVERYONE who has still been committed to the project will still receive their copies of the book, their figures, their t-shirts, their bumper stickers and all the other paraphernalia that we planned. This is the only fair thing to do for our fans who have faithfully stuck with us through the long haul.
Responses on the Kickstarter page are mixed. A lot of people respect the decision, but people are justifiably frustrated that it took Mike Pondsmith 5 years to reach this point.
