Steam is a plattform whith many kids around.

Whereas kickstartes rather attracts grown ups with bigger money purses.
They can pay, they're more patient and they value stuff more.
Some of them don't even mind waiting more than a year for a good game.


This being said it is easily understand that the Steam community which is used to get their 1 pre-heated Call of Beauty per anno reacts shocked upon laying their eyes on the price.
Most of them won't ever check the reasoning for the price anyways.

I agree with the TO that while having good intentions realeasing a game like that can be a devastating move.

Offer an option like that on your own website.
Make sure people read why they pay twice the price.
Steam is purely for distribution of the finished game.
