[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 6974, member: 152"] These Kickstarter things typically have a burst of enthusiasm at the beginning and then they drop off into a slow but steady stream of backers. If a project's close to its goal right before the deadline, you'll sometimes see a last-minute surge as backers up their pledges and people who were on the fence decide to contribute in order to push the project over the top. It's sitting above $16K now, which is 30% of the goal in 24 hours. That's a pretty good showing. And actually, while you're correct that $55K isn't pocket change, it's a lot less than I thought they were going to need (I was expecting $150K-$250K). I think the goal is very doable at this point. If it does fall short, I don't think TPA itself will suffer much - there's a huge backlog of unlicensed and minor-licensed tables just screaming for virtualization - but we probably won't see the heavy licensed tables included. And I think that would be a tragedy if some of the greatest tables of all time were unable to be reproduced on TPA due to lack of interest. [/QUOTE]
