Kickstarter might raise $300 million this year, roughly three times higher than 2011’s funding numbers. Leading the way is the Pebble smartwatch with $5.6 million pledged, but Double Fine raised $3.3 million on the service, InXile’s Wasteland 2 had $2.9 million, and Shadowrun Returns has raised $1.3 million.
Furthermore, a breakdown by Kickstarter co-founder Yancey Strickler show that film was far and and away the most funded. Granted, this study was done in February, and numerous games projects have come out since then.
