Why?

I backed it early and paid less for a half-implemented editor but wanted to show support.

The later you back the more that's actually built.

What main motivation do you think the seller has? It's basically an early bird discount.

Many things improve but go down in price. Can't articulate fully but it instinctively feels like a rationalisation rather than a reason.

When has that not been a marketing tactic

Exactly. It is a marketing tactic. A very fair and obvious one, at that. So what? Hardworking programmers are not allowed to market their stuff?
