Has it been stated whether the PC version will activate on Steam?

Now imagine what would happen if everyone else did the same as you.

Not sure, but here's an interesting statistic...
(forgive me for my sloppy handwriting
)The PC/ Mac announcement actually had the third highest day total of pledging. Today being number 1 and the first day being number 2. But they also lost quite a few iOS pledgers on that day as well, who retracted their bids after the announcement of Mac/ PC support. It was a big mess, for sure.
The Hayter/ Hale announcement didn't quite get as many pledgers but the people who did pledge were far more generous.

They wouldn't know that yet. I'm sure if it winds up on steam you could get a steam version.

about 90K in 23 more hours
I'd be surprised if Kojima hasn't jumped in yet

Has he ever actually acknowledged the game on Twitter or anything?
They couldn't say for sure until Valve signs off on the game even being released on Steam first.
They have said it'll be DRM-free, however, so running it through Steam won't be blocked by shitty wrapper DRM that affects some non-Steam games bought elsewhere. As good as having it on Steam in my view.

Wow, this could actually happen.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Why would anyone eat crow? This game was getting made no matter what.
Some people are dropping wads of cash on a game a year in advance, while those who didn't pledge will get the same game for whatever the heck price it launches for in 2013.
I wonder how much buyers (donators?) remorse some people are going to start having after they realize how much money they just dropped on games years from release?

EP and ROTR are daily shows that need to fill time every day, it's not surprising that Vic would cover a game that is trying to prove that IOS games can be more than a 5 minute distraction. Also a ton of the coverage was from the Canadian Video Game Awards so they could get a ton of footage without a huge cost.

This. Choke on it Hodapp.
This is why Kickstarter updates and an ongoing documentary are so valuable. They keep backers engaged with the process, alleviating any apathy that might set in over a lengthy development cycle.
These detailed updates are only possible with the creative control allowed by a Kickstarter funding, so the two go hand-in-hand.

Victor Lucas and Ryan are relatively close I think as well. Vic's company "Greedy Productions" did the MGS4 making of documentary for the collectors edition if I'm not mistaken. So they've worked with eachother in the past.
This will make it. Happy for Ryan and co.

what blows my mind is the last 1000 backers have put in 80000, that's a crazy average

People are increasing their pledges too, so not all of that is from new backers. I think.
80k left with exactly 23 hours to go.

Yeah, there's exactly $79,979 left!
Not sure if an increased pledge gets counted on the day it's submitted, or added to the date of the original pledge, but that might decrease the average $$ per pledge for the day.

It does that for all projects on the last day. It's a little busted.

Wow, almost there. I would never have guessed after the first week.
I really hope they make it.

Interesting game, slow-paced, but great if you're into Adventure games if you ask me.
Edit: Decided to load up the game and start a new one. Wow, it's such an interesting and fucking cool game. Seriously, people should check this out in the meantime. It's on Gamersgate for $10 btw.

Put in my $25. I had been waiting to get some cash in my US bank account for a while now.

Even if everyone came from the iOS only side, PC/Mac would still stand for 33% (it's probably more of an even split). With how close this is cutting it, they would not have made it without PC/Mac, there's no doubt in my mind.
Hell, I'm still doubting they'll make it as is, but it really looks like they might.

If nothing else... this has been one hell of an entertaining Kickstarter project to watch progress. The folks at Camouflaj must be nervous as hell right now. I don't imagine they'll get much sleep tonight.
Wow, yesterday I was sure that I would see my first two backed projects failing (Starlight and this). And now both are going to make it, really awesome. (I know it´s a bit premature yet, but seeing the level of awareness of this and anticipating feeling of "I need to contribute to make it happen" I'm pretty sure there will be a good surge the next hours).

If every backer upped their pledge by $10, we would be across the goal.
