Sadly this is the truth about many crowdfunding projects turning their back on their backers(no pun intended). One other example is Phoenix Point getting into bed with Epic which is not what backers want at all, and many of them back it because it will be released on steam. This backer insurance is definitely something the crowdfunding space DESPERATELY need...
