I think Kickstarter project lets more people to know about a game more than their site (It was kinda hard to find PHAN Club donation page on site, I think I am blind).
More people knows and gets interested - more money for development and for Source licence.
I donated while back, but I'm not mad or anything as I can clearly see why they decided to start Kickstarter project.
