It's not stupid. In this day and age, where projects cost millions upon millions to create, a crowdfunding campaign can be used to gauge potential interest, which in turn allow companies to see if an item is worth spending on or not. Surely, you haven't lived under a rock the last few years and saw many companies going under because of failed projects... 

But sure, go on and flame people by calling them zombies. That should get you far.

not my problem, I'm not a shareholder nor an investor. Funding a product for a multimillionaire company, just wow. Again, zombies are ok with that, I'm a Nintendo fan but I'm not going to fund their next gimmick or their next zelda.

Welcome to the game industry, where consumers pay to be beta testers of F2P games, buy products months before they can actually know what they are buying and now, last but not least, fund multi millionaire companys for them.
