Indeed. But the problem is, that major re-structurings are hardly possible without causing total chaos, basically making the pledge tier-overview on the right side pointless. But I guess that this is still the overview most people check out.

While I think the comparisons you made to the wasteland pledges are right, I wouldn't overestimate a change to these things at this pont.

For two reasons:
1. The change would be hardly visible if you don't read the update with the announcement. You remember the big thing of having all the classic games as addition for all tears? If it wasn't the very first thing on the main page you probably wouldn't see it. And even in this case I doub't everyone sees it at first glance.

2. People who left the site without pledging will probably not return to just check if they get more for their money now. It might have an impact on all further pledges and especially on the pledges at the last day, but it won't have the "boost" effect as in wasteland. That chance is gone.

Instead I think that it's actually a big risk to do these steps. I don't know how much they needed to pay for the humble bundle deal. But my guess is that it costed more than it was worth in terms of new pledgers. Offering more at lower tiers and more on for everyone who already pledged will rise the costs a lot, at least in the physical cases. Chances are high that current pledgers will even lower their pledge because they can save money.

Remember that the 350k they have as goal is not the money they get out of the project. It's probably just 100-250k. And every cut into this little money will hurt badly. And they already took 350k as the absolute minimum and expected more. What do you think will happen if they end up with just 2/3 of the money they thought is the absolute minimum?

In addition you don't know what kind of contract they have with BitComposer. They might have a deal that they are not allowed to sell the product that cheap. They said before that all the kickstarter money goes into the pockets of FC. From each sold product after release BC will get a share. Meaning each sale at kickstarter is a loss for the license holder. Therefore I think it's very likely that they agreed on a minimum price for the game (which is too high with 25$ without early bird option, agreed).
