The game industry as a whole is broken right now. The cost of development of AAA games has skyrocketed so much that only a few franchises are successful. Only a few ways to fix it - 1) Raise price of games (consumers are obviously against paying more than the 50-60 we pay now) or 2) Figure out how to make games cheaper, which they have so far failed at.
At least Kickstarter allows some legit small dev teams to create games that are fully crowd funded and don't require going to corrupt publishers.

Yeah, there are a LOT of gamer idiots out there ready to fork out money because 'OOOH PRETTY SCREENSHOTS AND PROMISES!!'
I don't hold it against developers when there are enough mouth-breathers ready to fund your project who get no stake in its success. It's a brilliant idea.
Honestly though, there have been a ton of high quality indie games released in the last couple years that were able to be made without swindling money from kickstarter idiots.
