There is now a stats page on the Kickstarter showing the success rate for projects seeking funding through the site. There are interesting breakdowns by category, and these show that just over a third of all gaming projects achieve their funding goals. Thanks VG247.

Another more critical number, though one wholly untrackable, is what percentage of people feel they got the value they put in (i.e., they paid $15 two years before a game came out and realized they would have been better off paying $7.50 two months after it came out.) ZOMG NO! I wasted my $15 on an indie game! $15 is so much to waste!
Or, there's the $60 I spent on Diablo 3, which is supposed to be an AAA title. And I consider it a waste of money. I'd have been better off taking a risk and kickstarting 4 more $15 projects.

With Kickstarter you get a sales video of a game that may not have even had a single line of code written yet. You don't know when it will be out, you don't know what features will make it, you don't know if the game will shift from FPS to third person halfway through, and you don't have any even slightly way to judge quality. Unless you choose the kickstarters that DO have code written and are significantly complete, where the features are mostly decided already. They tend to be the indie projects that have been self funded and worked on for years prior to doing a kickstarter. |
