#2and it still seems to be rising, not sure how that's happening after the time was reached, maybe some are still completing transactions?

#3Several impressive numbers in there.
100 backers at $1,000 a shot.
$38 per pledge.
Oh and exceeding the goal by nearly $3 million.

#4I loved Tim's (approximate) celebration quote: "I don't want to say this is the end of the game publishing as we know it...... I'm sure a few games will still need publishers." Classic.

Awesome stuff! Truly a great day for the project, Kickstarter and the internet overall. Not only traditional publishers trembling, but their establishment middlemen financiers...only place to go from here is up with any single inventor or team with a concept that can catch the eye of the funding crowd!

#8This was an amazing success especially given no equity traded hands. Game publishers shouldn't be the only ones worried.
While I don't see it being easy to do initial angel funding on Kickstarter, it clearly is possible to raise significant amounts of money if you either have a good product and/or a name.

Tim Schafer said it in an interview (with NPR I believe) this isn't replacing traditional publishers (yet followed by evil laugh).
I think the two can coexist. This was a great way to revive a game genre with following that is still to small for a AAA publisher to go after.
I think people who want to be successful with crowdsourcing like this will need to follow that pattern and attack small undeserved niche markets.

#10Plus some private backers gave $110,000 (Tim Schafer said that on the live stream from their offices) so that plus Kickstarter would be: $3,445,250
