So basically he said: The consumers have some good points, and the developers have some good points, we'll see how it turns out (while playing a video game).
I didn't even watch the video and I knew he would do that, because his complete inability to ever take a side on something is pretty much what he's known for.
Well to be fair, I think the issue itself isn't really something that's all black and white "pick one side and death to the other!" anyway. I think releasing a $90 alpha on Steam is kinda dumb marketing, but I also don't think it represents some kinda moral failing of the company behind the game.
Unless the video game industry lobby passes the Mandatory Video Game Purchasing Act, I find it silly to go into a rage at the price a company puts their game.
I do think, in general, that the "we must make sure the backers never have an excuse to whine" idea is a flaw in Kickstarter though. Not necessarily specific to this, but I have seem it cause questionable choices in other things as well.
