Kickstarter Update 49 & 50: Paypal Extension & Reward poll

[lDarkWarriorl]

I voted Yes.
Then opened the Email in my second Kickstarter account to vote again and received a message pretty much saying I already voted.
Opening the link in Incognito allowed me to vote from the second Email.

I hope they don't try to pull this kind of nonsense during release time telling me something along the lines of, "You already received your PS4 copy on one account so you cannot claim the PC reward on a second account."

That should be Awesome Japan job to make sure that only Kickstarter backers can vote... If there is a way.
It appears to me anyway that the second round for the poll is only rethorical.
Every sane KS backer will understand that more funds means a better game. In the end, everybody wins with exclusive rewards remaining in the "backers" family.

Edit. Well... trolls. Are they really so many? Thinking yes sounds a little bit paranoid to me.

There's a way, but it's probably not possible via survey monkey. When Double Fine did their kickstarter for broken age, the documentary videos were hosted from Vimeo and set up so that they would only work when embedded or linked from kickstarter pages. From a technical standpoint, it's a matter of checking the referrer to see where they clicked the link from.

Last I checked the Twitter poll, it was very much unanimous towards allowing the Kickstarter rewards via PayPal. I'm all for it, but my reasoning is not even from a money standpoint. (Although that's a plus.) I'm in favor of it because they did promise Paypal for the people who weren't able to pay directly via Kickstarter. I think those people who would have paid on KS but couldn't deserve the same rewards because they wanted to pledge but could not. I know especially for people outside the US that it's easier to pledge via paypal than kickstarter. That, and we're still over 20 months away from release at this point. It's very much a pre-order at this point, and so funding can still make a big impact on project scope.

I suppose trolling is a possibility, it happened throughout the entire kickstarter with some of the limited rewards like the jacket having it's pledge removed minutes before the campaign ended. It could go either way though, because there were backers in the comments on KS who sounded pretty angry about the idea of offering "exclusive" rewards to people later. It does seem more likely for trolls to vote no though, if they want to see the project get less money. I don't think a result of no would have much impact on the funding though, we've already seen that the amount they've gotten via Paypal is very little compared to kickstarter. Most slacker backer campaigns don't make much, and I don't think additional rewards will make a huge difference.

I do think the add-on / upgrade system will make a somewhat more impactful jump to the level of funding than just regular PayPal pledging did. I personally am waiting for it; I pledged a fairly decent amount on Kickstarter, but I could probably add a few hundred more at this point.

Using different browsers works too, if anyone else is having the same issue.

If neither option's available to you, try clearing your cookies - though I haven't verified whether that works.

I thought, perhaps this nonsense of postponement is a tactic to dissimulate their current issues with the PC version

Great news . More stretch goals we'll be reached, for sure.

So has there been an official word on how long the extension is for? Pretty bummed they never included the upgrade options for KS backers. It doesn't look like they ever added the physical PC version to the PayPal campaign unless I overlooked it. Might keep my KS pledge for the PC version and add a PS4 copy via PayPal.
