The difference between our opinions is perspective...
I think you missed my point, it's a matter of perspective really. You see it as paying a price and value for it. You most likely didn't know about the KS and feel really bad you missed out. Been there, Wasteland 2 by inXile. But what you have to realize is that that kickstarter was enormously important to them and there is a very real possibility that without it there may have been no Original Sin or turned out a great deal less than what it currently is(despite still missing a lot of the levels that will be in the final game). It's understandable. So next time there is a KS, don't miss out, it's that simple. Putting your faith in a game you won't touch for a long time takes patience and trust and assuming a very real risk(even for a game like Original Sin which had some content done and may have seen some form of release without KS) that you lose your money but also get rewarded for that faith, no matter how meaningless you think it is. It's not, and regardless of what you think, still had a very real impact on the Alpha released in January and its reception on Steam....and yes, the risk for SEA even for the alpha as it was, was still a lot lower than during the initial KS campaign. I thing it's quite visible that the game made enormous leaps toward completion from January to now(less than three months) so switch to the beta and then think how meaningful three times that amount of time was.
You're making way too many (incorrect) assumptions about me and my feelings. I also strongly disagree with your other comments, so we're going to have to just agree to disagree on this. I think I've made myself and my position plenty clear enough in the other posts in this thread, and none of your opinions have done anything to change that.
