DI S CLA I ME R
The data collection method is not perfect.
In 2014, Kickstarter has modified its website more frequently
than the previous two years. The modifications were also
more susceptible to break the data collection tool processes.
Take all those numbers with caution and consider them as
good estimates rather than actual values.

An analysis of all 159 sub-categories on Kickstarter is more than I am
willing to go into.
However, having done the analysis for the Video Games and Tabletop
Games subcategories for Games in the past, I thought it would be
interesting to provide them again here.
In April 2014, 5 new subcategories were added: Gaming Hardware; Live
Games; Mobile Games; Playing Cards and Puzzles.
While their addition can accounts for some of the downward trends,
they don’t weigh much overall: across all those new subcategories,
about $4m were pledged in 2014.
