Actually to be more accurate Grim Dawn started with a pre-order on their site a year or two before the kickstart campaign (they made it clear in the pre-order that they were using the money to fund the development with no promises - think of it as a 'self' kickstart). Then kickstart became a fad and their fans encourage them to add a kickstart. I was kind of disappointed they didn't do better as they are a great bunch of folks with a bit of hard luck but it is as it is. Not to discredit them as I did support their kickstart; but I am definitely am more eager for Divinity Original Sin then Grim Dawn - just a personal preference for deeper rpg and tbs over hack/slash (though of the hack/slash group I found titan quest much more enjoyable than diablo series or torch light series).

Crate Entertainment set up pre-orders for Grim Dawn from their website with categories similar to the kickstarter tiers (after the kickstarter ended).
EDIT: There is a short FAQ at the bottom of the kickstarter page:

Will there be a way to support through PayPal?
Yes, we are working on it. As soon as it's implemented, we will link to it.
