    I could do a full panel on crowdfunding platforms for games. But who has the time? I do want to highlight that the METUS campaign is a good example of 2 things...

    1. Pick the right platform for your game. It really matters.
    2. It sucks, but sometimes canceling and restarting is worth it.

Aside from our amazing core supporters, conversions from Gamefound’s organic traffic were nearly zero.

    You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’

    You don’t ‘run the gambit.’

    gamut = entire range or series

    gauntlet = severe trial

    Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy
