This would be more impressive if the Homestuck Kickstarter didn't raise 2.5 million on a name and absolutely nothing else.

Kickstarter only shows how easily people can tricked into giving others money, despite said other's total lack of any real product, or past history.

Well at least it serves some purpose, it gets people to spend money, instead of hording it and further destroying the value of money, and it gives me another means to reaffirm my belief that humanity is screwed.

Um, since when is the company and the people behind it not "past history"? I am well aware of their pedigree, and that we might see something more from them is more than enough for me to invest. I make enough money that it doesn't bother me to invest, I get the game and extra goodies to make it worth it for me. So I fail to see the issue.

At time of writing, there is ONE digital preorder ($20 bonus) left. Wow.

that happened several times, it's because people pledged 20 dollars upgraded their pledge

Because if there's one thing that Chris Avellone, Tim Cain and the rest of Obsidian staff lack in general, it's past history. Oh wait, that's stupid.

Seriously, past history is the biggest thing they've got going for them.

I lost my internet for the last 2 days and this was a pretty darn happy surprise to come back too. $4 million? And at points I never even had faith that they'd hit $3 million, I'm ridiculously happy now. And if this game is good and sells well, hopefully they'll make enough money that they can go straight into making another game of their choosing. We might just have started Obsidian on the path that will allow them to eventually become publisher free =D
