Only 3.77% of the Kickstarter campaigns that made over 41% failed.

projects : 257750
projects that made over 41% and failed : 9708
projects (that made over 41% and) succeeded : 94648
projects that made over 41% : 104356

Put your stats too to agree or disagree with me :wink:

Validated stats :

game projects : 19863
succeeded game projects : 6535
failed game projects : 13328

failed game projects that made over 41% : 1252
succeeded game projects that made over 41% : 6535
game projects that made over 41% : 7787

  • percent of game projects that made over 41% and failed : 1252/19863 = 6.3%
  • percent of game projects that made over 41% and succeeded : 6535/19863 = 32.9%
  • On game projects that made over 41%
  • percent of game projects that failed : 1252/7787 = 16.1%
  • percent of game projects that succeeded : 6535/7787 = 83.9%
  • percent of game projects that succeeded and made over 100k$ : 2.97% (don’t forget that it also states that a lot of projects asked less than 100k$)
  • percent of game projects that succeeded and made over 1M$ : 0.76%

I’m not waiting the campaign to be a success, I’m quite confident with it. What I want are some stretch goal and the first of all the modding support.

Statistics: Lying with maths.

Even if the big gaming media sites don’t take notice at some point we’re still looking at making the minimum without too much fuss based off similar gaming projects with long-term dedicated support and such a rapid first day and long/slow middle slog.

Looking forward to a couple stetchgoals depending on what the devs put out for us in the way of shiny. :slight_smile:

We have already seen that Battlescape’s kickstarter is not a typical kickstarter and does not follow the same trend patterns. Lets wait and see.

Ah I see you totally massacred the actual statistic :smiley:

Actual statistic is this “Of all gaming KSs that failed, only 9.4% reached 41%.”

I think you guys missed the joke. Also I am reading it in english, I just removed the ?lang=fr part in the URL. I think these statistics are pretty hard to read accurately because they are written so poorly, perhaps on purpose.

Those statistics are indeed not that easily readable.

After visiting the link, the frenchness has infected all of Kickstarter for me, even the Infinity campaign site. And it hasn’t any fr in the url to replace to anything else.

Also, 67% of all game related kickstarters failed to be funded. 13,326 failed to complete their campaigns out of a total of 19,861 campaigns. There is not given indication from these stats that I can see that shows a trend about how many reached this point in their campaign and what the success/fail rate was. All we can say is that generally most campaigns do fail.

As I stated earlier, this campaign does not follow the normal trend lines so any trends we do actually manage to figure out will not be relevant to our campaign it seems.

The ?lang=en fixed it. Thanks. It felt like I had to take high school French all over again.
