Aliens vs. Predators Closes 1000% Over Goal on Kickstarter

Aliens vs PredatorsOver 2000 supporters came together to support the table-top game Aliens vs. Predators on Kickstarter.  The initial goal was to raise £35,000 but Prodos Games Ltd. from Warwickshire in the United Kingdom, easily cruised past that amount.   The final crowdfunding number closed at £379,141 (over $620,000) – an astounding number for the successful campaign.  This was not the first time Prodos had used the crowdfunding platform to fund and market a product.  This past June the company experienced their first success funding another game – Mutant Chronicles Warzone Resurrection – raising over £160,000 from over 900 backers.

The games category on Kickstarter is the top revenue producer on the site having generated over $170 Million since the crowdfunding platform has launched.  Frequently media focuses on digital / video games but the table-top game industry is thriving and the success of Aliens vs. Predator is clear proof of the demand for these types of games.

Wow.
