Key detail: this does not refer to the successful Kickstarter campaign by the original creators of LSL ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1451923705/make-leisure-... ), but to an entirely different Kickstarter campaign that just started ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1787675232/sam-suedetm-i... ).
It could set a nasty precedent where people sue Kickstarter projects that get a sizable enough pot to grab. Knockoff games happen pretty often. I can't really see where the LSL guys are going with this aside from a simple cash grab...though I am being pretty cynical about it.
If they wanted the money you sue once the money has been raised, you don't have the project taken down.
1. Isn't 'misuse' of the Leisure Suit Larry name a violation of trademark law, not copyright? 2. How does implying that Lowe is working on the project a violation of IP rights at all? I would think that it would fall under defamation or fraud.
