33% of Gaming Kickstarters Funded

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.

A far more critical number I think will be the percentage of these projects make it to release.
I"m not sure that kickstarter tracks anything like that.

Nor do they want to.
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.)

Of course, these conversations get you labeled a Kickstarter-hater, even if you backed another game yesterday.

It doesn't make you a hater, and stop playing the wounded martyr. "Oh, I am the only voice of reason and everyone lambasts me for it. Woe is mine!" Rolleyes

I wonder why you keep hammering this point, though? You seem to have this incredible inability to understand that if nobody kickstarts these projects, the game doesn't get made. So yeah, good luck with paying the $7.50 two months after the game that didn't get made comes out. I mean... what?

And who cares how many people felt they "got value" out of it? If the Shadowrun game actually gets made and isn't a complete shitfest, I'll have gotten my value out of it ten times over, since there never would have BEEN a Shadowrun game to begin with. (Same for Wasteland 2.) Other people might need it to be the next Ultima 7 before they feel that their $15 was wisely spent. Who cares???

Well, you apparently do.
