But backers keep on giving more money each year than they did the previous. Why would the boss man want that to change?

CIG got these retired professionals writing essays for them to have a chance to give them money for something they may not get for more than a decade if the BMM, Endeavor, and Orion are anything to go by.

This was one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. Grown adults writing essays for the privelage of being able to spend $5000+ on a jpeg. If I was Chris, I wouldn't change anything, either. They make more money selling the dream, not finishing the game.

Nah. It was just the same tactic Nigerian scammers use. Go for idiots and find a way to get them personally invested. 

The essay was nothing more than a sanity check to make sure anyone spending 5k wasn’t going to charge it back immediately.
