Wasteland 2 Kickstarted; OS X and Linux Thresholds Near

inXile Entertainment announces their recently launched Wasteland 2 Kickstarter Campaign reached its $900,000 goal within 48 hours, and the fund to support development of the post-apocalyptic RPG sequel currently stands at over $1.1 million, and word is they are nearing the point where they can commit to Linux and OS X support:
In a message posted to all of the backers of the project, inXile said, "This is a paradigm shift that is bigger than Wasteland 2. This is the beginning of a new era in gaming where the developer gets to work directly with the fans to build the type of product that the fans want. The games are fan funded with fan input and use digital distribution methods to bypass both publishers and retail.

The latest status of the now funded project has the number of backers at over 20,000 and the funds pledge at over 1.1 Million Dollars. With over 30 days left until the funding ends, Fargo has hopes of being able to soon announce more features that will be added to the project, saying, "The fact that our supporters are buying in at an average of over $55 each says a lot about the level of dedication the fans have towards this product. No matter how much money is raised, all of it will go into making the best game we possibly can." On the strength of this early success and in response to popular request, he has already added a Linux version to go along with the Mac version at the rapidly approaching $1.5 million milestone.

It didn't accept it. I tried retrieving user/pass and said I didnt have one. Last time I ordered anything from Amazon was UT2004 CE, which they cancelled my order the day of release. Being in Canada the shipping cost on anything usually isn't worth it. So I NEVER use Amazon, ever. They failed at the one attempt I tried to purchase a release day game from them, never again. Since then Steam and many other options have come out rendering Amazon obsolete for my needs.

If they don't want to just take my Visa or Paypal payment, then they get nothing. Not going to sign up and give my personal financial info for a service I'm rarely/never going to use. If it means I don't contribute to Kickstarters, so be it. I can wait till the game(s) are actually released.

Almost like being a minority stuck with an arbitrary requirement to do something they want

Anyway Amazon is a great company used by hundreds of millions of people and they have some insane deals even on their international sites these days. If you really want to boycott them for life over one incident then fair enough but I think you'd probably find a lot of value for your money there nowadays.

Thankfully WL2 is fully funded so it appears enough people were able to use Amazon and the result is we get a hopefully kickass old school callback game.
