6. @icotom Online Games Consulting & Services In April 2014, Kickstarter introduced many new subcategories on the platform. For Games, those new subcategories were Gaming Hardware, Live Games, Mobile games and Playing Cards. They also changed a few old projects to those new subcategories in the process, but clearly not all of them as that would have been a cumbersome undertaking. The data presented here is using the subcategories as they are now on the platform. For most of them, it doesn’t have much impact, but the Gaming Hardware, where the OUYA and Oculus Rift are now in, shows a massive bias in the dataset due to the size of some projects. I have edited some graphs to avoid this bias to affect too mcuh the information presented. It is not a perfect decision, but it is necessary to avoid aberrant trends to show as many other projects should have been edited then that would have balanced the dataset.

21. @icotom Online Games Consulting & Services GAMES * Gaming Hardware has a very low sample data that’s biased by a few historical projects like Oculus Rift. The average number is more misleading than useful and we decided to remove it.

35. ALL SUBCATEGORIES GAMING HARDWARE 2015 across all subcategories on Kickstarter Projects before 2014 were retroactively set to this subcategory. The numbers are biased by those few, successful projects. I would recommend to ignore them when looking for trends.
