Good to see there will be a digital version as well.  Just moved to another state recently and I have not found a decent board or card gaming community around here yet.

There will not be a digital version.  They are giving away PoE with it in some levels of the campaign.

 

And the lowest tier that includes the game is way too expensive for a kickstarter.  This is more like just asking for preorders.

I'd disagree that the game tier is too pricey. It's what an established gaming company like FFG with a solid supply chain charges for a product like this. For a new shop that has, to my knowledge, made nothing commercially yet, there's probably not a lot of margin there. A $20 starter box would be nice and all, but costing the tiers sensibly so that they can actually deliver on the rewards is important.
