so to chime in unnecessarily on the whole Kickstarter thing... I think maybe at first (and by "at first" I mean Tim Schafer, 2012) people were just really excited about games being funded by Kickstarter because it was new and exciting. So then for a while I felt like it really didn't matter what the game was, people were just putting down money if they saw the phrase "from the developer of classic game ______" combined with the word "Kickstarter." But now that that paradigm is has had a couple years to lose that fresh feeling, I think people are remembering the days when a company would make a game and then you'd pay for it if you wanted it when it was available.
