They... didn't? Did you read Swen's blog closely? The whole point of his torments is to be undependable and make things on their own money. Kickstarter is something he was discussing in the concept itself.
No offense, but I am not interested in arguing with you for the sake of it over the Interwebz.
Yes, I regularly check and read Swen's blog, but neither you, nor me can read minds, or foretell what the future has in for Larian.
Last time I checked, this is a list of wishes, or suggestions if you will, and if you can't see what that implies, I can't help you.
