Update: Project Eternity Sets Record as Most Funded Videogame

That is pretty amazing. Goes to show how much the gaming community can do. But it makes me sad that we're funding video games. We could use our collective resources and intelligence to do greater things than to simply fund video games. Perhaps this is a sign of things to come.

When I said "a sign of things to come" I meant that in a good way.

Ah, well then I take back all of my statements, and concur. Sorry about that, must have been confused by the lingering effects of a troll mask I was wearing on another thread.

Also, most of the biggest projects these days aren't just AAA titles, but indie games funded by the fans and developers on their spare time. Do you think Minecraft cost $15 million? It was done over a couple years by a single guy working on it in his spare time.

The notion that you need $15-20 million to make a game symbolizes everything that's wrong with the industry, and you should be ashamed of yourself for even suggesting it. Project: Eternity is going to rock, and crowdfunding is to thank for it.

Quoted for Truth. Beautifully said.

Anyway, as one of those Day 1 Funders, back when we were reading the 1.1 million goal in less than 24 hours, I've gotta say - I have not been this excited about a game in YEARS.

I wasn't this excited about Skyrim, and I fucking loved Skyrim.

Now... we wait until 2014.
