I think people understand crowdfunding but a lot of kickstarter campaigns imply a certain level of intimacy/connection/independence that people have subconsciously applied to all campaigns.
For a crowd-funding campaign to appeal to the pathos and then "sell out" is what is ticking people off.

The bigger problem is Facebook. It's Facebook that is driving the vitriol. Even if the Oculus Rift wasn't crowd-funding/sourced, people would be raging anyway.
