Game developers many times use third-party IP (for example game engines). In such a case, open sourcing is worthless.

  That's definitely true in a lot of cases, but many of the more indie-friendly engines (like Source, I believe) are free or cheap for non-commercial use. I think that works well with the fact that this funding model is most likely to work with indie-scale projects.
