How High Will Penny Arcade's Kickstarter Go?

Welcome to this week’s installment of Over/Under, where you, the GAMEBREAKER fans, get to show off your prognostic powers and see if you can outguess the staff or even the people who make games themselves!

The rules are simple: we’ll offer you a quantifiable number, or perhaps a date, and ask you to predict whether the answer will be over or under our stated value.

Then, when we know the answer — typically within a few weeks or months — we’ll make a post to let you know how you did!

Today’s question is:

How much $$$ will the Penny Arcade Kickstarter have on Aug. 15?

The saga of Penny Arcade and its Kickstarter program are well-documented by now, and we’ve even weighed in with our own thoughts.

The goal was to raise $250,000 by the deadline of Aug. 15, but that goal was met in just a few days, and more money is flowing in daily. The rate’s been slowing down a bit, but there still seems to be some life in the old girl, so to speak. Our question is: How high will it go?

Our Over/Under target is $500,000.

  • If you think Penny Arcade’s Kickstarter will have $500,000 or more in funding by Aug. 15, post OVER in a comment below.
  • If you think Penny Arcade’s Kickstarter will have under $500,000 in funding by Aug. 15, post UNDER in a comment below.

We’ll check back at midnight on Aug. 15 to see how the whole shebang’s coming along.

$500,000 is a whole lot of pennies…

    The real question after seeing Penny Arcade hit their goal is whether we will be seeing Gamebreaker doing a similar Kickstarter.

    Gary has asked the fans on a few of the live shows what they think, overall positive response and I say why not. I think it will also be under but only slightly.
