Not completely, no. It's a risk/reward balance that all projects take into account. Even small indie projects. But more money on the line means more risk aversion.
Just like the music with big marketing budgets isn't exactly the most creative music around. Katy Perry, Rihanna, etc. No one is gonna put millions into an avant-garde project.
Btw, crowd funding is interesting because it cuts out the publisher. It has the potential to funnel millions directly from fans and into the development of a project that would have been too creatively risky if it was tied to the old publisher model.
