That's what developers always say on their Kickstarters, but inevitably some awful shit gets through one way or another. You have blatantly obvious cases like in Undertale where a Kickstarter backer's character was clearly unwanted, but clearly the developer couldn't actually remove said character anyways, or games like Colossal Kaiju Combat that had a huge amount of trouble because of overly stubborn furry backers.
I have very little idea of why this happens, but it's clear that Kickstarters saying "We can refuse content we don't like" doesn't give the creators complete control over what content gets added in. I've heard that there's a legal obligation to fulfill backer goals, so if a backer constantly demands their horrible content to be added in and refuses to backdown or accept compromises, the devs can't do anything about it. Basically the devs saying they can refuse lore unfriendly content isn't really true.

Elin was first planned to be in EA in late 2022 and released on April 2023. Then it was delayed so it would be in early access on April 2023. Now it's been delayed again so "Alpha Access" is planned for late 2023 with "Beta Access" being a couple months after that and "Early access" being a couple months after that.

Yes, as someone who has been eagerly waiting for Elin to be released I am upset.
