Yeah, seems that way. It is a great tier, though. Obviously, higher is even better, but for me, $300 is the tier that contains everything that I felt I "had to" have when I was making that decision. It's all subjective, though, of course.
Getting out of debt was priority number one for me at that time so wasn't really feasible with my budgeting at the time.
You're pretty much the same as me. I have credit card debt and money is tight because of having to pay nursery fees for the little one. My finances, though stable, were not where I wanted them to be. My wife however, having a slight idea of what the game means to me, convinced me to do the slacker backer as is was a once in a life time opportunity.Slacker Backer. I WANTED to put money in when the Kickstarter began (I really wanted to) but, and truth be told, I was climbing my way out of CC debt and couldn't really afford it at the time
But once I got finances back on track, I went for the slacker backer. I only chipped in $100 which nets me the game, trial version and name in credits. But I'm still glad I chipped something in. After near 19 years of hoping and waiting, it felt good to chip in at least a little scratch to make it happen.
