Not at all: complain about it all you want, and make your decisions in accordance with your understanding of the relevant risks.
Just recognize that a certain level of risk - in the form of possible breaches of promises - is inherent in the nature of all of these things - traditional investment, pre-orders, and Kickstarter alike - and that there's no way to pre-empt that downside without eschewing the upside.
