I think the best effect of Kickstarter might be to show just how hard running a business and selling a product really is. I often hear people lament over "it only costs $3 to make China, why are they selling it for $19 here!" without realizing how many details and costs are involved. It seems every month there is a new story on reddit/r/boardgames about someone with an idea for a killer new game who raises ten of thousands through Kickstarter but still can't ship the actual product.
