Oh no, they did not hurt my feelings That needs more than what they did. And if somebody thinks I expect them to pass out the promise of expansions to everybody...well, no, not really even though a promise on its own is cheap. I would, however, expect them to not promise expansions before they are done with their original project. I am also a bit surprised that the people here don't see the difference between a cloth map being added to a Kickstarter goal and a game expansion being added to one. Kickstarter works by having people put their trust and their money into other people/a company based solely on their word and whatever else they may have at that time. What Obsidian did do, is violate some of the trust people put into them by starting to promise more than they possibly could at this particular point of time. The initial project is barely more than started and already they are talking about expansions based on, as yet, imaginary sales? I also run my own business and if/when I see someone behave like this I pull out, yes. Not because my feelings am hurt but because my trust in someones initial goal (which is, after all, the one I pledged my money for) disappears with such promises.

Imho, no, you are not going too far. Having them talk about expansions before even having properly started, far less finished the game is going too far for me. It also strikes me as slapping people in the face who have only little money. Obsidian should never forget that it is the $20 pledges as well as the $10k pledges that help them finance their project. We are pledging our money based on trust, we are not placing pre-orders. Excluding part of their backers at this point already leaves a bad taste for me. And no, this is not the same as just another book or cloth map. I will most probably pull out of it based on Todays update.
