I can understand what your saying and probably that is the case.
But seeing that a lot of kickstarter campaigns didn't really deliver, my point of view keeps the same: Don't buy before it is officially released.
You maybe think it's bullshit what I'm saying, but I have to many bad experiences with early-access, kickstarter crap..
Edit: So what I meant was, that people don't really trust kickstarter to begin with and maybe that is why there aren't that much backers.
