Turns out not everybody is Tim Schafer.
Though the creator of Grim Fandango set Kickstarter records earlier this year, raising over $3 million for his point-and-click adventure game, most crowdfunded gaming projects arenât nearly as successful.
In fact, according to a Kickstarter representative who spoke to Kotaku yesterday, only about 25% of video game projects reach their funding goals. In contrast, about 45% of all projects reach their funding goals, the representative said. So gaming Kickstarters arenât doing very well at all. Established games like Wasteland and Leisure Suit Larry may have reached their goals, but theyâre more exception than rule.

In other words, Kickstarter ainât a revolution in the gaming industry just yet.
