This week in MMO crowdfunding news, Project Gorgon met its Kickstarter goal with over 23 days to spare. The fantasy sandpark benefited from some positive word-of-mouth in the MMO community, due in no small part to the fact that the title features a pre-alpha build that anyone can pick up and play right now.
In other news, Shroud of the Avatar pushed its big Release 20 patch live, and Star Citizen continued to set the internet on fire with the latest in a long line of much-ado-about-nothing brouhahas. Catch up on all of the week’s crowdfunding news after the break.
