Kickstarter game projects top $1 billion, with tabletop making up 69% of pledges

Games represent one of the biggest categories on Kickstarter, and it looks like it’ll stay that way. Today, the crowdfunding site announced that gaming collectively brought in over $1 billion in donations to creators since 2009.

This total comes from the 3.2 million people who pledged money to almost 17,000 game-related projects. And while a lot of indie developers found success on the platform over the last decade — like Double Fine with Broken Age and Yacht Club Games with Shovel Knight and its expansions — the category is more than just video games.
