I don't have a response for that. We have to be having the same conversation in order for me to respond.
$460K was not collected today. Irrefutable fact. Will some of those people go over to their site and pledge directly? Sure. Will all of them? Of course not. So how many? And how much of what they eventually collect will be new donors who didn't donate to kickstart?
If someone offers you $460K will you turn them down and hope they offer some portion of that money a second time? You actually might. But the correct answer is no.

Not sure I really get you're whole point in this thread. The reason some people donate through Kickstarter is the guarantee that they are not throwing their money away on something that may only get half funded. If the people that donated before still want to donate now through the website, they can. This isn't losing these people's money if they still want to give it to the project. Saying it's stupid of Brad not to take advantage of the people who donated within the confines of Kickstarter's definition of 'funding', is actually very disturbing.
