People won’t hesitate to put up money for a game/developer they believe in as we’ve seen with Double Fine’s project and Wasteland 2. You can now add Shadowrun Returns to the list of extremely successful Kickstarter campaigns.
Jordan Weisman was looking for $400,000 to bring the franchise back with Shadowrun Returns. That amount was quickly obtained in a few short days. The funding didn’t stop there, however. The total raised money now sits at over $1 million, which is over twice the original amount that was asked for. With 14 days left in the campaign, this number is sure to continue to grow.
Who knows what the end result will be, but with the amount of cash being so large, people are already joking that we should be seeing a console version as well.
