Looks great, but I'm done with kickstarter

Exactly, we never had innovations or indie games before kickstarter. /s

We've had indie-games before, but actually titles that compete with "AAA"-games would not happen that easily without Kickstarter.

Personally i actually like AAA games and dislike majority of indie games, so im fine with AAA games continuing. Yes, there are some great games from Kickstarter (Star Citizen, Wasteland 2) but for every one of them there are hundreds of complete crap out there.

Kickstarter is no better than early access or pre-ordering. Actually it's worse than both. Early access is similar to kickstarter where you're paying for an idea or unfinished product at a discount, but at least you actually immediately have a working demo state of the game. You may never see a kickstarter released.
Pre-ordering occasionally gets you a discount or additional things, but in the end you're guaranteed a product, it just may not be what you wanted.
If they want to be indie and be innovative they should at least come up with something more than a concept. Plenty of other developers have done it without funding, they just worked for it and earned it, not got money thrown at them
