@templar007 I don’t see it as a slap in the face.
In fact I love seeing the kickstarters I backed at retail … so what if I don’t have my goodies yet ?
People can buy and play the thing I helped make into reality.

I back things not because I ‘need’ them, but because I think they need to exist within the market.
As such I see it as an opportunity to help (small) teams make their dreams of starting a business a reality.
The fact that I get something in return is nice, but not essential … I’ve already considered the money ‘gone’ from the moment I backed the campaign. As such I’m not that worried when retail price is lower than what I ‘paid’ for the thing.

I’d even argue that if you’re into kickstarters because of the goodies you get then you should be waiting for the retail instead of taking the high risk approach. And I’d even suggest waiting for reviews instead of buying it at day zero to reduce the risk even further.
