As of writing it has 10,621 Backers giving over $487K against the $2.75M goal. I've no doubt this is going to just keep rising for some time. They have a full 28 days left too, this is pretty much confirmed then!
The fantastic news about Wasteland 3 is that the developer is planning a simultaneous release on all platforms:
QuoteSimultaneously releasing to Windows, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
It sounds like it's going to be a massive game, that will completely dwarf Wasteland 2 is size and scope of everything.
It will have multiplayer, vehicles, your base will evolve through the game and more.
It is planned for release on both Steam and GOG, so that should keep everyone happy.

D'oh!
Found the info: It's the little ⓘ next to funding progress bar.

Quoting: EikeYou're right, that wasn't clear at all, thanks for clearing it up. Still, the result is the same. It's going to get funded :)Quoting: rkfgThis is not exactly true. Backers have only given $483k as of now and $1700k come from Fig itself. This is an unusual scheme for crowdfunding.

Doesn't that really depend on how Fig works? Because I've heard Fig can be rather shady.

Quoting: GuestI was tempted to try investing into the game. What's the deal with Fig being shady?
Its ties to Tim Schaefer, for the most part. DoubleFine abandoned Space Base DF9 (an early access game) and messed up/heavily delayed the second part of Broken Age (a Kickstarter game). Fig is their own crowdfunding platform, and some people (rightfully so, IMO) think that it's not a good idea to have them collect money for Psychonauts 2 on there. They have shown to not be able to manage money, teams (like the DF9 one) and time, so removing all oversight and protection that a site like Kickstarter would provide while also being more closely involved with the projects they host (acting as some sort of publisher) seems like a terrible idea.
Here's a breakdown of who they are and what they do: https://techraptor.net/content/fact-or-fiction-psychonauts-2-and-fig

Seeing as Kickstarter oversight is pretty much worthless, it doesn't really matter. If you were on board W2 with Kickstarter, then there isn't much difference with Fig in regards to guarantees. Especially if you view it as a pseudo-donation rather than a straight pre-order.

They've released ~14 games so far and they need money for the development of another one? Really? I bet they would easily fund the next game but getting money from idiots that are investors without any benefits is easy.
