This is pretty interesting, so what's stopping new startups to make apps and publish on kickstarter to avoid paying the investors back later? Also, why do these "investors", more like donors, so willing to throw their money at the screen?

Absolutely nothing, plenty of niche games are funded through Kickstarter. > why do these "investors", more like donors, so willing to throw their money at the screen? Because someone is promising to try to build a thing they want, that no professional investor is willing to fund.
