Yeah, for me: game being made > individual gripes that I may have. I suppose they could have offered the discount, but removed some things from each of the discounted pledges, in order to keep the original value of some of the earlier purchasers. However, even that route is filled with tons of extra work for very little benefit imho.
I've always enjoyed persistent housing in a game world. I know other games offer it, but hopefully Fractured offers good combat and other gameplay around it all to make it the cream of the crop when it comes to this stuff.
I'll simply repeat myself from earlier... do we want the game made, or not?
The guys setting these prices obviously have a better view of the financials than we do, and if they feel they need to offer discounts (which are tiny; comparable to the KS early birds as I've said multiple times in this thread), then who the heck are we to argue? Let's worry about the game getting made, and a healthy audience, rather than money.
And especially let's stop the, "I don't care about money, BUT..." style of comments. Because it looks like you do, bigtime.

first to adopt usually pay more for that privilege.
Pay more for the privilege to invest money earlier to get less benefits.. sounds quite awesome privilege.
you aren't getting less benefits. you get the same benefits as someone getting it on sale.
Okay, less benefit was maybe a wrong choice of word and I meant to refer with it for pricing. Still, that does not sound like a privilege if you pay more and you are not getting anything extra.
however, you probably entered into the game and tested a little bit, while they might not have.
Firstly, have a chance to test out few days couple of unfinished features, is far from privilege.
Secondly, just few packages has access to Alpha 1, not all of them.
now creating a game is a business and offering sales is a smart business decision.
It is a business for sure, but offering sales is not automatically a smart business decision. It depends a lot how and when it will be implemented. Timing for discounts was good, but doing it with expense of early backers is not the best way to handle this kind of situations. This questions the whole meaning of early crowdfunding, where idea is to offer early investors something special and better so they will buy your product at start of development. Now what is the point to fund early on if you can get the product cheaper later? I have seen in other games how devs compensates this kind of actions to early backers. Not returning any money, but offering them something in game extra stuff.
