I checked their kickstarter, however.
>35,550 backers pledged $1,076,960 to help bring this project to life.
Pillars of Eternity, most assuredly software, was a kickstarter I backed. Their campaign page reads to this day:
>73,986 backers pledged $3,986,929 to help bring this project to life.
Why make up such a shitty lie? Does it matter if you have the longest John in the pub? Is this something USA specific down the American Dream/Meritocracy/Competitiveness axis? I find most European projects to be more modest about these things.
No hate please! None intended here. It just feels weird to me.
- ihuman 10y agoKickstarter separates video games from software. They're #1 in that section when sorted by funding. https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/technology/software?ref=discovery_overlay&sort=most_funded https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/technology/s...
- spectre 10y agoThe claim of being the most funded software project is down to Font Awesome being the most funded project in the Software category. https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/technology/software?sort=most_funded https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/technology/s... Pillars of Eternity is in the Video Games category and so isn't counted as Software.
