I've been a board game aficionado for over 20 years, and I stopped buying new games entirely around 10 years ago because everything was being funded by Kickstarter.

Just like avoiding video game pre-orders, I refuse to absorb a corporation's production costs up front. The fact that the retail version of the game almost always does not include a bunch of content exclusive to Kickstarter backers just makes me not want to buy it either.

Shifting all the risk onto your customers is an insane business model, and it's completely unsurprising to me that even when they're spending other people's money these assclowns can't succeed.
