It's in Tycho's post near the bottom.

There’s an exhilarating gambling aspect to Kickstarter, at least, sometimes. I backed some hot sauce, for example. Sometimes it’s not really a gamble. For example, I don’t think Planetary Annihilation is a gamble. It doesn’t fit the general profile, which may explain its runaway success. This is an established independent developer with interesting, sophisticated product out, and veterans stem to stern. Anything Tim Schafer might have said about the Adventure genre goes for RTS in terms of publisher “enthusiasm,” “enthusiasm” in this case meaning “a distinct lack of enthusiasm.” End of Nations and the new Command and Conquer are both Freemium, and I don’t think that’s coincidental. The superscale concepts of Planetary Annihilation - I’ll be surprised if they can keep the name - would make publishers sneeze, and sneeze, until ultimately they sneezed out their forebrain and died.

Uber intends to make an RTS game you can purchase and play; given the arc of the genre, it’s almost charmingly retro.

If they could make a cartoon about it during the Kickstarter campaign, that would probably get a lot of exposure.

They've done one for Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander before...

If anyone has contact with these guys, maybe you could ask them.
