Sorry wish I could help but the update is mostly graphs with some text.:)

I can tell you they list Kingdom Come: Deliverance as one the most backed games of last year. It seems there was less larger funded games than compared to 2013.

All of those listed those are board games not PC games, and I never back any of those.

Still if thats what you like then it was good a year for you.:)

Right. But I do find it interesting, and even surprising, how much support the PnP and board games get. They often rely on nostalgia, a prior legacy, and/or a built-in fan base for their success. Still, it's something of an indicator that Kickstarter isn't dead, because other categories are doing quite well.

Click to expand...

Star Citizen's Kickstarter campaign ended on November 19, 2012. All the funding since then has only gone through the RSI site and not Kickstarter.
Star Citizen is also by quite a margin not the KS record holder since it only raised about $2.1 million on there. The video game record holder on KS is still Torment at something over $4 million AFAIK.
