Is the trend to all games become a kickstarter game?

(I posted this question in r/boardgames too)

In recent years, I've noticed a pattern: I discover a board game I really like, only to realize it's a Kickstarter project reviewed on BoardGameGeek or YouTube, with the campaign already over. The few copies available online are either extremely limited or outrageously expensive second-hand versions.

If you're lucky, the game might have a second print run, giving you the chance to purchase it online or order it through a local store.

The board game market is booming, but I'm not the type to join Kickstarter campaigns. I prefer to do my own research and avoid buying games based on lofty claims or promises.

Has the board game market shifted to the point where you need to pledge or pre-order just to get your hands on a new release? What are your thoughts on this trend?
