The angel isn't funding them for a trip to San Diego to design a level or some other rewards being offered via the kickstart page... He's doing it for his investment back plus a return in the short term. Consulting fees. Fees to his company. A salaried position. Something.

You realize I'm not talking about some random stranger pledging 340K out of the blue through kickstart, right? I'm talking about the developers approaching an investor (perhaps a relative or even themselves) and asking him to fund the rest so they don't leave money on the table. I'd figure that would be obvious, but maybe not based on your responses.
What part of bad investment is so hard for you to understand? Giving this moron any money to make a game expecting to make a return on it is a horrible fucking idea. I don't care if you are talking about him getting the money from Grandma, a publisher, or a venture capitalist firm, its all a bad fucking investment.
