Are they not allowed to redo the kickstarter with a realistic goal? Let's say they started over with a goal of $300k. They got something like $400k in pledges but they will lose some people since some will have lost confidence in them.
However, if they made that 300k, that's one third of the original budget. You make your goal a very barebones finished product. Now your game is really attractive to investors. They look at it and say the first 300k in development is paid for. These guys have a real, verifiable fan base.
