I asked them why its a KS Exclusive and what that entails, got this response from Chris, which I think is reasonable

This version of the base game will not go to retail as it’s way too expensive, we’re going to strip back the contents, so there will be a lot less in the box for a more retail-friendly price. That would not go to retail until some time after this project ships. Think of this as the bumper Kickstarter edition that is amazing value with lots more content than you’ll see in retail. There will be late backer pledges – we won’t be locking people out, and any remaining stock will be available on our website for a higher price, but this box will not go to retail. (we can’t stop stores from purchasing it for markup and selling it of course). The expansion will never go to retail – it was too expensive, and we wanted fans to have something exclusive to increase the value of supporting the project.

We are aiming to unlock lots of templates so the community can make their own content.

Raises it slightly from my too many red flags don’t back impression to, one to keep and eye on and potentially consider later down the line.
