They have strech goals already. None of them is a port to other systems.

I'm sure Sony is giving more than just a stage to them aswell.

 

Absolutely. Considering that the $2 million goal will likely cover 5% of it's budget AT BEST.

 

To be honest, the kickstarter is most likely used to buy capital, pay the rent and the power bill, and pay the salaries of employees for the first year. They probably will take a loan either from a bank, venture capital or a publisher to the fund the rest.

SPECULATION:
I don't think Sony is GIVING money for games like SF5, Shenmue III, and FFVII anymore. I think they essentially loan the money to the studio interest free (or extremely low interest) based on a projected budget that gets paid back form the developer's share of the revenue. Its likely they reduce the platform license fee on these games too.

By allowing a game to launch on PC -- it lowers the risk and allows the company to pay Sony back. It also bribes PC master race wannabe hackers so they DDOS someone else.
