Well, I've sent an email through the backer portal with a refund request. I'll let you guys know what happens!
And to all the back and forth fighting - I'm not upset. I just don't want to support a company that caves like this. I believe they've gone back on the spirit of the Kickstarter of making a game that answers only to the fans, that's all.
Am I able to get a refund for my $250 tier? I'm happy to mail the physical items back. I backed this to support you guys making the game you wanted to make without interference, and this is going against that to me.
