It matters to me because if I pledge in excess of $100 then I'd prefer if a developer keeps true to their word. I'd like to be able to trust in their promises. I prefer not to feel and be treated like a stupid fish who can be baited with lofty promises that are worth fuck all. Or to be treated like Lando Calrissian when Vader altered the deal.
But that's me… YMMV. My consequence is clear. No more crowdfunding for me, especially not inXile.
Mmm, that sort of thing isn't unique to crowdfunding. You should also avoid voting, buying a vehicle, paying in advance for home repairs, expecting a perfect date, thinking miracle cures will work, or purchasing a book based its the cover. At least it was only $100 this time.
