> some may argue that this was a good thing

I don't think anyone was arguing this - Pebble simply went bankrupt. FitBit just bought some of their IP/assets I think. There was no expectation of them buying it and continuing support or development.

Some say that if FitBit hadn't bought them, the Kickstarter supporters that still hadn't received their devices, wouldn't gotten their money refunded from Pebble.

If this is true or not, I have no idea.

that's basically the norm for kickstarter yea. if a company doesn't succeed, there's no money to return...
