MW:O wasn't KS funded, they just had a "buy-in early for these bonuses" drive, which netted them about 6.5 million.

So far, only a handful of KS games have released, but none of the big ones. Double Fine Adventure is supposed to be out soon, but we haven't yet seen Star Citizen, Wasteland 2, Tex Murphy, SpaceVenture, Leisure Suit Larry, etc.

KS funded games are a big deal, but the industry still has yet to see if any "big games" can pan out in the long run.

The big problem with a lot of these KS games (CIViTAS especially), is that all the games without a big industry name behind them (Tim Schaefer, Al Lowe, Brian Fargo, etc.) are kind of a crapshoot whether the guy(s) know how to create, produce, and distribute a game successfully.
