Kickstarter, especially in this case, is people pre-ordering an already more fully defined and developed product. The money raised is going more or less directly to people purchasing product.
It's funny because Kickstarter is intended NOT to be pre-purchasing but to be an investment in something that might not pan out. People have gone out of their way to point that out when some of the high profile failures have happened.
