4. @icotom Online Games Consulting & Services DISCLAIMER The data collection method is not perfect. Kickstarter regularly improves its website. The modifications are always susceptible to break the data collection tool processes. Take all those numbers with caution and consider them as (good) estimates rather than actual values. “Pledged” means money pledged to all projects, including one that didn’t meet their goal or were cancelled. “Raised” means money pledged to projects that were successful (met their goal and not cancelled. METHODOLOGY

5. @icotom Online Games Consulting & Services Kickstarter launched in JPY in Japan on 12/09/2017 It was the only new territory for Kickstarter in 2017 KICKSTARTER PLATFORMS LAUNCH DATES KEY INFORMATION

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 much 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.
