Ready for some math? 1,378,143 Kickstarter users pledged $83,144,565 to game projects in 2012. There were 2,796 game Kickstarters launched. Of those, 911 were successful.
(Note that âgamesâ in this context refers to both video and tabletop games. Kickstarter doesnât separate them.)
That dose of insanity comes via Kickstarterâs cool âThe Best of 2012â feature. Another fun dose of numbers: 2012 saw 2,241,475 people pledge $319,786,629 to fund 18,109 projects. Staggering.
