If each of those 261K people who Like the Kickstarter would just donate a buck we'd be over the Goal... Shame people have no problem liking something, but when it comes to taking action, we end up with just ONE Percent...

Though we do still have over 3 weeks to go, so maybe some of those people are just waiting for their next paycheck or something... Here's Hoping... *raises glass*

Those 261k likes aren't for Tex, they are for Kickstarter in general.

You are so very right... Never really looked down there before, so I blindly assumed they were for the page I was was currently on...


Still, it would be nice to get those 260K on our side, would it not???

The Facebook likes for the Tex Murphy Kickstarter are under the pitch video. 580 so far.

The likes for the video keep resetting for some reason. On the first day it was up to 1,500. I wonder if it happens when they update the front page.

if project fedora doesn't get funded there's seriously something forking wrong with Kickstarter.. and for that matter GAMERS..

The biggest annoyance is the locking out of any press. They just won't cover it for some stupid reason (too busy playing their inferior Diablo 3 to care- inferior in that Blizzard totally fucked it up).

I can only hope that Chris and Aaron have some major PR card up their sleeves that they haven't played yet.

The trouble with Fedora is that it looks like a sophisticated, involved game. When compared to the other games that are effortlessly getting funded, it's generally because they're the instant gratification games that you can pick up, learn and put down at any time. For better or worse, Fedora brilliantly promotes itself as something more intricate than the average action or arcade game that seems to be the flavour of the current era. It's simply a case of gamers voting with their dollar. I've always been hot and cold when it comes to democracy.

I've noticed that, too. I just keep clicking "Like" each time it resets!

yeah, we definitely need a global dictatorship until the end of the campaign

It is rather obvious what it is we need is for Darth Vader to come in and take over the campaign.

darth vader don`t play games, he destroys planets
and he`s not real

Santa Clause just texted me. He says you lie
