One of the quoted sources is titled
>How Font Awesome 5 Became Kickstarter’s Most Funded Software Project
I checked their kickstarter, however. >35,550 backers pledged $1,076,960 to help bring this project to life.
Pillars of Eternity, most assuredly software, was a kickstarter I backed. Their campaign page reads to this day:
>73,986 backers pledged $3,986,929 to help bring this project to life.
Why make up such a shitty lie? Does it matter if you have the longest John in the pub? Is this something USA specific down the American Dream/Meritocracy/Competitiveness axis? I find most European projects to be more modest about these things.
No hate please! None intended here. It just feels weird to me.
