At the end of the day, what % of that money comes through after taxes and people backing out?
There was a Kickstarter a few weeks ago that actually broke down their costs, wish I could find it now. As I remember it, Amazon and Kickstarter took out around 6%. And wouldn't most of the taxes come out at the personal, rather than corporate, level?
I still believe that most of this sudden, last minute funding was all one dude under dupe accounts. Maybe it was Peyton, maybe it was someone else that has a stake in the game. All I know is while the game may have gotten a boost, ain't no way it shot up that fast organically.
All major Kickstarter sees a big surge in the last few days, particularly in the last day.
Vicstarter
Still alone in failed gaming kickstarters
Vicstarter was doomed from the start by not offering digital rewards. And by being about a sequel no one wanted to a game that no one cared about. On the PSP.
