Pretty good for midweek, and without the game even getting into the news. I have to wonder sometimes; who exactly are the people keeping the Slacker Backer funding pulling in $1000+ per week on average? Surely it can't be dedicated fans doing a monthly funding drop.

It's probably a mix. I've seen people in the 500K group talk about donating on top of their KS pledge, but also people backing for the first time.

It's still pretty incredible that people are still chipping in, and new people are finding the Slacker Backer site despite the game keeping a relatively low profile before the re-reveal.

I can only imagine the potential in a boost if the game really does make a PSX showing.

The Slacker Backer link is shared routinely on Twitter, so people with an interest in the game who don't know about the PayPal option are given daily chances to discover it.

Oh sure, that'd account for some of it.

I think sometimes we underestimate the curiosity about the series, though. I'd like to imagine a lot of the pledges are people who've searched the game out of their own volition, but we'll never know for sure.

I have wondered, if the game does make a grand reappearance at PSX, how much money it could potentially gain if the Slacker Backer is shared on-screen at the end.

Negative Nancy sites will obviously try to bash it but there is real potential for reaching 7 million or more if the reveal trailer is impressive.

Looks like there's a mistake? One extra backer but no change in total.
