No, it really isn't. This is not a kickstarter to make a game, this is a kickstarter to help pay for the game they already made a kickstarter for before. It isn't about risk, it is about fraud.

Yes, it is interesting how a lot of people assume that the most likely explanation is the right one. Of course it is possible that they got money somewhere else and don't need this kickstarter cash to keep the company afloat while they finish their known to be delayed and overbudget game. It just isn't very likely.
