May 6, 201312 yr One of the first guys who made it in a Kickstarter. Very interesting numbers out there, especially about resource allocation in crowdfunding projects compared to traditional retail and kickstarter survey about backers. Personally, I would like to see the same video from Obsidian and see RPG backers statistics. I was surprised to see that 81% built their own PC(like me) and 69% of backers are over 25 years old. Numbers part starts at ~15:00 Edited May 6, 201312 yr by Cultist
May 6, 201312 yr 69% of backers are over 25 89% of backers game on a desktop 66% of backers wanted to support a game made specifically for the PC Translation = stop making games for kids. The future is a healthy niche, cottage PC gaming industry free from the dead hand of 'triple A.'

May 6, 201312 yr It's not that surprising that the backers are over 25 years old. I wouldn't be surprised if the median age of Mass Effect's customers was somewhere close to the mid 20s as well.

L0LZ What i see is that there's a demographic, a market segment if you may, to capitalize from. That doesn't exclude AAA-games at all really.

May 6, 201312 yr I didn't mean that Triple A games would cease to exist. There will always be market for them. What I mean is that games developers will be able to make a healthy profit from more focussed titles that *don't need* to be Triple A and can tell publishers where to get off. @ Volourn: I've had you on ignore for three years, poppet. Don't bother.
