For two reasons. One, it’s good.
Two, its mere existence should probably terrify Hollywood. Details on the budget are sketchy, but it was probably seven digits, maybe six. Good luck getting a major studio to put something together like that for less than eight. Wave of the future, folks: after a certain point, our eyes just can’t tell the difference in SFX quality anymore.

You’re welcome. I figure that, if I can’t stop watching it, probably my readers won’t want to stop watching it, either.
oh, and according to kickstarter it was even cheaper than you think.
