Our Take
This is good for anyone who missed the Kickstarter. I would assume that anyone interested in funding the game already has, but having the option is nice. This seems to be a pretty common practice for Kickstarters. Even the Double Fine Adventure, which set a lot of standards for video game crowd-funding, offered late-comers the option to donate/pre-purchase the game.
