Kickstarter Update #84 - Preorder, Modes, and Launch Update

Overlord
I stand by my arguments, my point wasn't about refunds my point was that plans change and that we made investments not pre ordered already existing products. Regardless the decisions made so I won't argue the point. I do sincerely regret you feel cheated but I'm glad the content will be available to all and will help increase the success of the game. I've seen alot of hot head on the Kickstarter comments section going on how they are going to tell all their friends not to back the game because the content didn't stay exclusive so I felt I should provide a counter voice.

This is all good news to me. Not only is content intended to be kept in, it's quality is an important factor for the team. Furthermore, I view games as works of art, the overwhelming majority of which is given to the public. I'd feel it would be a shame if the public couldn't enjoy or appreciate certain pieces because of exclusivity. Who am I going to geek out with if only a handful of people got to experience this exclusive thing? All my excitement would turn to loneliness as nobody I know would have enjoyed it as well. What then, years later, as our copies are lost or destroyed? All that work put in and even fewer can enjoy or remember it.

So I just want to say, good work to everyone who worked on this game. Those years spent will be much appreciated.

When importing these two shipments, the tax import post office will ask me for a receipt and I will have to show the same receipt twice.

Nothing is gained by keeping the exclusivity... there I said it..... I know your point of view was that a promise has been broken but my point of view is that a promise that doesn't serve the greater good of making the best product possible isn't worth keeping.

People within the backer community (myself included) did not want the content to remain exclusive and yes I can say it's invalid to say backers don't lose anything because it's true, the word "exclusive" is removed from the equation nothing more, you get all the content you were promised show me that this isn't true and I'll withdraw that point but you can't, you can tell me that your not happy about the decision and you regret backing at $60 when you could've gotten it cheaper but no matter how you feel about it your still going to be able to play everything you expected to be able to play when you get the game. The people that say "But I PAID $32 extra dollars for my exclusivity!" It's an investment not buying a finished product you should have known the risk and not gambled with more money then you felt comfortable losing. You still help make the game possible, you still got access to demo's and insider knowledge of the project, and the opportunity to help to shape the direction of the project.

My point about the Wii U comparison was that there is a point where keeping a promise in detrimental to the greater whole. I am genuinely regretful that you feel like you got cheated but I'm glad things turned out the way they did. I for one think it's fine that you are complaining that you don't like whats being done, I don't think that that in itself is "petty or silly", however there are a great many of people that think like you do that are being childish and detrimental to the project now because they didn't get exactly what they wanted, (Neither have I in the past but I never told anyone to not buy the game or threatened to harm the projects success because of it) EDIT: I'm glad to hear your not one of those people but "I'M NOT going to apologize either for providing a counter voice when I believe that the best result happened. So in closing as I've said before we made an investment with good faith promises made, and for the most part those promises have been kept and that proves the "good faith bit" on 505's part, of all the things to be disappointed about with this campaign the loss of $32 4 years ago and the word exclusive on your tier, seems to me (I'm not asking you to agree) a minor loss in the grand scheme.
