Yeah, it could fund a lot of things. I don't think there are enough serious gamers and game devs very active on here at the moment. It feels like a niche crowd and I'm one of the pioneers. :)
Steemit has actually distracted me from my game development, but that will change. :)
I would play it, though my vote won't kickstart anything anytime soon ; )
Oh It's past that... just working up to it in Gamedev blog... it is Greenlit on Steam. It sat on steam green light for 570 days with a newer version than the Kickstarter as a demo. Then out of the blue one saturday I received a message it had been greenlit. I had switched to another project by then, but I quickly switched back and about two weeks into spinning back into getting a game ready build for that I discovered this thing called steemit.com which has distracted me a bit. :) It will be on steam, and it got there with no funding from anyone... but, that is for another GAMEDEV blog. Thanks.
