I guess, but an unfinished game and source is pretty valueless. People who work on an unfinished think there work adds up to something valuable (an engine, some art) but I have seen people try to sell unfinsihed projects many times and they are almost never valuable. And they are only valuable when they come with a team that is passionate about continuing to work on them.

The thing is, backers are getting nothing for their contribution. But the team didn't create nothing, they created a ton of art assets and code. It might have little market value, but to the contributors it's better than nothing.

What if the community decided to try to finish the game themselves? Would be interesting.
