I was about to answer this too. There was something earlier called Project CARS (racing simulator) where the developers had a whole plan ready from the start. If you donated a certain amount of money it could for example count towards paying the full game at release and you could partake in monthly betas. Pay more and you got the game at release plus weekly betas. Donate more and you could have things like : being able to deliver input during development, your name in the game etc. That's different because you knew there that you would get the game. Just donating and then asking a company to make it seems too risky.
