Why aren’t more game developers using Kickstarter?
Kickstarter continues to serve as a vital, evolving mechanism for video game development, functioning less as a primary funding source and more as a sophisticated community-building and marketing instrument.
- Kickstarter is shifting from a primary funding source to a strategic marketing tool, with over 440 successful projects raising $26 million in the most recent annual cycle.
- Developers must treat Kickstarter as a community-building instrument, as the platform typically provides only 30 percent of a project's total backer base.
- Activity on the platform is projected to grow by 10 percent in 2025 as developers increasingly use it to secure final-stage capital and improve project visibility.
