The bigger problem with the raffle is those who are under the $75 and are at their maximum are feeling shafted by it. Hopefully they can come up with some compromise.
From the update video comments:
From the update video comments:
I already pledged 30 and that is the max I can go. Does this mean that if I pleged 15 and now another 15, I would enter the drawing, but not with the current 30????
What about international backers?
If that is the case, i am really put off by this.
Drat; I just upped my pledge $15 something 2 days ago. If I'd known this, I'd have held off until after this announcement.
I do hope you guys can figure something out for folks like me.
Is the intention only to attract new 15$ backers as they get a more attractive offer than already existing backers that support the project from start? Imagine i'm a 30$ backer... maybe i should remove my pledge and create a new login, to only offer a 15$ pledge (it's not the case, i'm already in for the drawing, i want the boxed game)
Few hours ago i noticed the total pledged was $541 125, 2 hours later it has went down to $540 500... i think it's because the "Tex Memorabilia" drawing condition are unclrear and seems unfair.
AND : the update on the kickstarter page does not mention that a $15 pledge is enough to be in the draw for new backers (it's only mentionned in the video, and not everybody watch it as there is no caption, not even english ones)
As many i tink that the draw qualify should be added to a pledge ($30 or $50 pledges seems fine) New Backers would be invited to put directly a $30 or $50 pledge, and others should be tempted to upgrade their pledge to $30 or $50
I suppose a way to game the system would be to backout, then re-back at say $15 then add $15 as like many I pledged at $30, $45 held zero interest for me as I could care less about casual games... but IF it was a credit for a Tex game from gog I'd probably have gone for it as even though I already own them it's nice to have an online backup......and yeah up until this raffle thing they were doing a spectacular job on this KS although the raffle thing kind of knocked it down quite a bit in my view.
I dont understand this. If someone backs for $15 now, then they are eligible. But if you backed for more and supported the project early on, then you aren’t eligible unless you up the pledge again? How does that make sense? What if I cancel and pledge at $15 - does that make me eligible

Hi João,
That is definitely a fair question and we hadn't thought of all the ramifications. You're point is valid. We will discuss this tonight and have an answer tomorrow.
As for international backers - they will not need to add shipping if they win one of the sixteen prizes we have listed. This is a prize they will have won.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Chris
