If the developers bankrupt, and I buy this on steam, who's getting the money? Is spending money on this game actually going to reward the people who made it?

The developers finished the game out of their own pockets, the company was bankrupt. Once the game released they recouped their finances and then some, since it was a smash success and one of the best pieces of art in the games medium.

They are still making games and you're still supporting them if you buy it now :)
