...not counting the potential risk of the developer "taking the money and running"...
A pre-order is for a game that's already in the ending stages of its production, but not released yet. A Kickstarter is for funding a game that is yet to be developed.
If a pre-order gets postponed indefinitely (*cough* Bracken Tor *cough*), you'll get your money back. If a Kickstarter fails (for whatever reason), your money is gone.
Kickstarter is in the first place based on trust. There's risk involved, and that makes it closer to an investment than to a pre-order.
I definitely understand what rtrooney is saying.
