Project: Eternity closes at $3.98m, PayPal funds push to over $4m

Now officially the biggest Kickstarter game on record, Obisidian’s Project: Eternity drive has shut its doors at $3.98 million. Originally only asking for $1.1 million, the team crashed through their initial goal in just 24 hours and have since gone on to add stretch goal after stretch goal, culminating in a $4m goal to enhance the whole game with live instrumentation for the soundtrack, developer commentary, and more.
Although the Kickstarter itself stopped just shy of $4 million, PayPal funds — last announced as being in the realm of $140,000 — have bumped it well over the mark, according to Obsidian’s Twitter account. Unfortunately, Project: Eternity isn’t due until April of 2014, which means we’ll have plenty of time to sit and gnaw anxiously on our fingernails about how they’re handling our baby.

I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED, I THINK I JUST HAD A BABY
So with the Paypal added, will Chris Avellone be playing this now? <_<
I watched the special Obsidian Twitch TV stream for the last 20 minutes of the Kickstarter countdown and watched the Kickstarter figure almost reach 4mil and watching the staff at Obsidian celebrating a successfully funded (and then some) kickstarter project.
Should be good. If funding had a straight correlation to quantity and quality of features though TOR would have been the game of the century.
I threw down $250. Looking forward to this game.
