This week in MMO crowdfunding news, Infinity: Battlescape kept motoring toward its $300,000 funding goal. As of press time, the seamless sci-fi shooter had amassed over $223,000 with 12 days remaining. Infinity likely got a boost from Star Citizen frontman Chris Roberts, who posted glowingly about I-Novae’s project on the front page of Star Citizen’s website.
The rest of this week’s news roundup is just past the break.
