Project Eternity Breaks $3 million

[Terrible Opinions]

The only option is to give so much money that they hit $4 million and he's forced to play it.

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

Darn then I was a day late!

The team is currently hanging out on livestream for the remainder of the countdown.

It's not that there was one left, it's that someone who already had one increased/decreased their pledge. Happens from time to time.

Either way I snagged a 25 dollar copy. so I'm all good.

Not sure if I'm more excited for this, PA, or Sealark...

hard to say.

I'm severely tempted to remove my pledge now that I've learned Chris Avellone hasn't played Arcanum. [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidian/project-eternity/posts/329795]

They discussed that in the AMA [http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/11iox8/we_are_chris_avellone_tim_cain_and_josh_sawyer/c6mt42a]. Was pretty funny.

So....4 million is starting to look likely. I am impressed. Great job, internet.

 

[The Madman]

Wish I had more money to spend so I could up it to the boxed copy. Ah well, given two years time maybe by the time its finally released I'll order a boxed copy alongside my online copy so I'll have something nice to put on my shelf.

Holy fuck they just got like 500k since this morning.
Jesus shit the cash is rolling in.

EDIT: I KEEP ON REFRESHING THE PAGE AND THE MONEY KEEPS ON RISING
WHAT IS GOING ON

Ah, there is your problem - you don't need to refresh the page, it automatically updates the amount.

Also, they now have 4 million. Well done, Obsidian!

Christ this is mental.
I went downstairs to make some porridge. When I came back up they made another 7 grand.

They made about 2K in the past minute, so, yes, I'd say 7 grand is a possible amount for a porridge making time.

Damn, only two days after this was posted and they're already nearly at $4million.

Edit: At the time of this edit, they are at $3,919,976, with 38 minutes left.

do you guys think they'll hit 4mil before the end of this half-hour?

They already have 4 million. There is more than 100K from PayPal (they had 125$ from about 5-6 hours ago).

EDIT: Word from 24 minutes ago is that they have around 137K on PayPal

 

[GiantRaven]

If the pace stays the same as the past 10 or so minutes, it'll fall about $30-40,000 short of the 4 million mark by my reckoning. It's already past that factoring in paypal though, so the last stretch goal should already be achieved.

That sounds about right. With the pace it's had, I was guessing about 50k short. I'm not sure if Chris Avellone will be forced to play Arcanum if the Kickstarter alone doesn't reach four million, though. Personally, I'm astounded at just what a success this crowdfunding effort has been. Of course, as a long time fan of Black Isle's RPG tradition, I could not possibly throw my money at Obsidian any faster.

CAPTCHA: done that

Well, they have another 100,000 from paypal...so yeah.

Wow.. Im surprised. I was considering this when I first saw it. However, My problem was that the first "donate enough to get a copy" tier was 20$ and it indicated it was redeemable by Steam. Given Steam wrongly demands to forfeit legal rights, this would be completely illogical. So I thought, Hey I might consider, if they were to break the tier to allow for Linux Support. However I simply didnt think this was going to muster quite that much support. So I stopped following it. Now that it has, I find myself just broke enough for the month I cant afford to donate now.

Oh well, my fault. But, its good to see that much support for it. Wont hurt to get it once its finally released at full price.

Just wish they would get a tie in with GoG given how disgusting and vile steam is.

Unless I'm inventing memories, it's definitely going to be released on GoG and you have the choice of whether you want it on GoG or Steam.

They already have... Since like day 5. When the project finishes they'll ask if you want a GoG key or a steam key for the downloadable copies.

 

[viranimus]

Aye. I do admit ignorance in that respect. I stopped looking at it after the second day of considering it, SO I was not aware GoG was an option. But thank you both for the confirmation and reasurance. Quite good to hear and now I am fully looking forward to 2014 or when ever it is released.
