Even if I wasn't too late, that doesn't seem like it would be very nice. I can see how people may feel differently, but I think Kickstarter held up their end of the deal. You paid Kickstarter to fund this project and that's what they did.

You actually aren't paying Kickstarter. The money goes through an Amazon Payments account directly to the developers, after Kickstarter takes off their fee. The chargeback would hit Amazon, and it would be up to them to try to recoup the cash from the developer.
Did not know that -- thanks! I suspect Amazon would fight the chargeback and if I had to guess, I think they'd win.
