I´m all for little incentives for backing, but linking major features like a night time version or a "pro table" to a certain pledge level, and, in turn, leave it unavailable for the general consumer sounds too much like turning the TPA hardcore fanbase into a little elite club.Cute gimmicks like a shirt or your name in the credits are good incentives, because they don´t really affect the software for people who can´t or don´t want to pay for a Kickstarter project (or simply completely missed it!), but still enjoy playing TPA.A Kickstarter should be about people wanting to give a developer some money because they love to see whatever they´re doing coming to fruition. To make a feature never available to you ever unless you happened to be aware of the Kickstarter as it happens and have enough cash on hand at that time for a product that doesn´t exist yet sounds overly harsh to me. We here pledge these Kickstarters because we trust Farsight, but a lot of people don´t like spending money and not immediately get something back in return - that´s just how many consumers think, and that´s fine. Maybe others might disagree, I think that Farsight not only needs the money from hardcore fans, but also from the casual players. Would I personally pay up to, say, 30, 40€ for a well done version of, say, Addams Family? Sure! But many other players wouldn´t, and I´m sure Farsight is well aware of the fact that they need to sell their DLC in a certain volume. If you cross a certain price barrier you suddenly lose a LOT of potential customers.</blockquote>
