One of Kickstarter’s more-successful stories was that of Shadow of the Eternals, but the team behind it, Precursor Games, has encountered a controversy, as one of the developers has been charged with possession of child pornography.
Kenneth McCulloch, 42, was arrested by the Niagara Regional Police in April 2013 on child pornography charges after a search at his home in St. Catharines, Ontario .
The police seized a “significant” amount of child pornography, charging McCulloch with possession of child pornography, making child pornography available, and accessing child pornography.
“We are deeply upset by this,” said Precursor Games in a statement. “Having just learned of these disturbing charges today and based on the serious nature of them, Kenneth McCulloch is no longer affiliated in any way with Precursor Games.”

Precursor Games was staffed by many former Silicon Knights members, who became infamous for their long development periods and a legal battle with Epic Games. Precursor Games is currently still developing Shadow of the Eternals for Wii U and PC, scheduled for a Q4 2014 release date.
