I think the real problem with kickstarter is the pledge bloat. I pass on kickstarters these days with huge scope, because ultimately the amount of variance to each individual will extrapolate. The length of scrolling i have to do on a kickstarter page is normally my judge on whether to back it (as it gives me a quick judgement on whether theres a concise understanding of what they want to gain from this kickstarter)…

and the interesting thing is it’s other kickstarters not the consumer which is pushing this model, if companies cut back on the additions/extras people would probably still back the product if it is good.

it reminds me of the channel islands, where my parents live in jersey, the island has alot of good food, everywhere costs roughly the same, the difference is the cheaper cafe’s just give you more stuff for example tonnes of patatas bravas etc, whilst the better places give you a better more rounded portion size. But no one is asking for huge amounts of sides

Just looking at the kickstarter page now, it looks like they tried to build the world in one go, rather than create a compact starter box with maybe a few additional starter factions.
