I'm not exactly sure if I understand the purpose of this thread, but if I do it's to convince people to contribute to Kickstarter.

I think a major factor for me, among the many other factors such as how much money I currently have, is whether these games already have enough support. If I see the former Legend team or Coktel Vision wanting to do another game and they are struggling to get to their target, I would be several times more likely to contribute to that than one that is rocketing upwards. DFA was over-target before I found out about it, and I believe Jane Jensen will reach her target comfortably.

That said, I don't think it's very accurate to look at this phenomenon as a kind of selfless support of your favorite developer. It's possibly some fans think of themselves in this way, but we have to remember they get something out of it too. But I also wouldn't speculate on whether they would contribute if they didn't get anything.
