I think that a kickstarter such as this should have a funding level that the film is released entirely free digitally in addition to their pre-production level. Place this level somewhere around the profit they estimate to make with moderate dvd sales and theatrical release. Then, offer for sale the DVD\Blueray for a reasonable price and release to theaters. This way people can help lower the risk of producing something that might not be super popular and people can still support the effort after the fact by purchasing the dvd\blueray or seeing it in theaters.
Did you ever consider that some people are purchasing the bundle are just supporting the distribution model? The last 2 bundles i purchased for about 15$ to start with(having already purchases the 2 games i wanted from the bundles), played a couple of the games and then donated more. You act as if that 12$ is a slap in the face but i bet they would rather a 5$ donation for their effort than nothing. If you liked their games so much why not throw them 5$-10$ more.
Yeah, not like us nice Canadians care if large areas of land and great quantities of water are polluted to give you those fossil fuels. Judging by our current "leader" I guess we really don't.
It's too bad the shipping cost completely eliminate any savings you could get ordering this phone outside of the US:
