I don't know if I regret any of them necessarily. Most of what I've backed have been western style RPGs that have shipped (Torment, Pillars of Eternity, Shadowrun, Wasteland 2) and that I evaluated carefully before laying down any cash. I think all of those have more or less turned out as I expected given the experienced teams behind them.
I also backed Darkest Dungeon and that's actually been my favorite game out of early access/kickstarter things I've backed. That one was more of risk because I'm pretty sure that team was relatively green but they were really upfront and thoughtful about their design plans from the start and their technology base seemed sound verses what they were attempting. Looking forward to future projects from that team.
The one other thing I've funded that I have mixed feeling about is Camelot Unchained. Now the huge caveat is that I backed that project with a huge amount of skepticism because I know it's a really niche interest with a developer who has stumbled more than once. If I hadn't had some of the most memorable experiences in my life playing RvR in Dark Age of Camelot then I'd have passed on this one without blinking an eye. I backed it with the knowledge that chances are this project has a high likelihood of failing but it's one of the few chances I'll ever see an RvR focused MMO again.
