Read the FAQ. Sony, Shibuya Productions and possibly other outside sources (Sega?) are backing Ys Net up.
I personally think that what is in the stretch goals now are the things Yu failed to reach an agreement on while negotiating the game with those (external) sources.
E. g.: Outside sources were not willing to pay for translations (subtitels) into other languages than English, so Yu had to fund it through Kickstarter. Outside sources are not gonna pay for a Rapport System, Skill tree and extra mini games. Also it seems outside sources cut down the Baisha Village Infiltration Event in size because it seems not worth spending that much money on it to those sources. That's why Yu put up the "Expanded Infiltration Mission" Goal on Kickstarter to be able make the scene in the way he wants it to be done.
