Ohhh. Yeah. Besides the fact that the Bridge Guardians between Canada and the US have made their riddles so hard that only the wisest can cross, the other main reason I didn’t back BWC is because I’m not a mega-fan and I’ll be able to take a look at it in the store. Early delivery alone isn’t enough to make me back something.

This is also true when I want to back something at a digital-only level, which is increasingly common. If I don’t get at least some special reward or help unlock an extra piece of material or even just a “everybody gets paid a bit more” tier, I don’t bother, because it’s going to be on Drivethru in PDF for the same price or less after launch anyway.

That’s also why I stopped backing videogames on KS entirely: by the time the game is finished its huge development cycle and its three years of “early access”, it goes on a Steam sale and can be bought with all the extra content for half of what I paid to back it.
