They try to explain it in FAQ at the bottom of the page but I am not convinced and that is one of the main reasons I will not support that campaign.

Yes, many people can be confused I guess. Well - I understand what is it about and I have supported it because I studied it carefully and it seems to me as a good deal. But I think that successful Kickstarter campaign that asks for big amounts of money needs also address casual gamers and I'm afraid they will not study the conditions as hardcore fans.
So it is quite possible that one (or both) of these project will fail eventually. I hope that Tex will not make similar mistakes.
