Gamers wishing they backed the Kickstarter campaign for Wasteland 2 can rejoice. The game is now available to everyone via Steam Early Access.
inXile Entertainment’s post-apocalyptic RPG raised just short of $3 million in a Kickstarter-powered funding effort that ended on April 17 of 2012. It isn’t inXile’s only fully-funded Kickstarter campaign, and in fact it isn’t even the company’s most successful. The campaign for Torment: Tides of Numenera raised over $4 million and ended in April of this year, making the company one of the rare examples of crowdfunders to use the medium multiple times for multiple successful projects.
