1C is sitting on a mountain of gold, yet they don't realize it!

Some MMO make lots of money but other MMO drive companies into bankruptcy. Anywas my understanding is they were working on some sort of muti-player game (MMO?).

I personally want a good single player game and have no interest in either multi-player or MMO.

1c knows exactly how much the KB games cost to make and how much they made on them so they can judge if it is worth adding more to the series (I hope they think that is the case). As for the kickstart; 100K is nothing. Even in Russia 100K is not going to fully fund a game like KB (I can't comment on what KB cost to make since I am not too familiar with Russian salary structure; in USA or western Europe even small games can cost low millions (read one of Larian's ceo blog and he gives you some nice numbers for divine dinfinity back in 2000).

83k is a tiny amount to fund a game with. You can say 'they made that in less than a month', but they couldn't KEEP making that every month to keep the game funded. A single LOW LEVEL programmer is worth 35 to 40k a year. That's a low paid employee. A wonderful programmer is worth greater than 100k a year, which you couldn't even afford with that capital amount.

A kickstarter like this is effective at helping 2 to 3 man studios, who likely have other personal income streams, to get a game off the ground, not to get a large studio to keep rolling out product every year.
