We'll see about that when one of these developers either fails to produce a decent game as a result of their kickstarter, or worse, fails to produce a game at all. Both are scenarios that are more or less guaranteed to happen eventually. What will happen is that the people who bought that will be sorely disappointed, KS projects will go on, people will still support KS projects based on their own assertions. Crowdfunding is a new economic phenomenon not yet fully understood by economists, to claim it has a bubble is way too ridiculous, especially since with crowdfunding projects are independent of each other and the failure of one does not necessarily means the failure of another.
Once the dust settles I see people still supporting KS projects but the amount of projects that do get funded will decrease with time, as people either don't feel attracted to the projects or other, better crowdfunding business models appear. Exactly. A lot of people out there prefer to support small business and losing $10 or $20 here or there isn't going to change that. We're soon in for a fundanmental shift in how we live and do business in the first world as see the drawdown and end of cheap oil. Over the leasr several decades we've seen that, slow, graducal shift - which will not only continue but increase- toward an entirely different way of living. Sustainable, renewable, fair, these are all things that are going to be essential if the species to survive, much less thrive. The Walmarts of the world won't dissapear anytime soon but their days are definitely numbered.
