Rock Band 4 PC funding campaign comes up well short - CNET

Gamers hopeful for a PC version of Rock Band 4 appear to be out of luck. The game's crowdfunding campaign on Fig has ended -- and it came up well short.

Harmonix was looking to raise $1.5 million, but only managed to attract $792,817, which is just 52 percent of the target. A total of 1,674 people contributed to the campaign over a period of 35 days. Fig, like Kickstarter, is all-or-nothing, so no money will be collected.

The bulk of the funding for Rock Band 4's PC campaign came from investments ($592,000), while the remaining $201,000 was from traditional pledges. Fig is unique in that in addition to Kickstarter-style backing, people can actually invest in a game and ultimately share in its success through equity.

Things weren't looking good for Rock Band 4's PC campaign, as it needed to raise more than $750,000 with just 24 hours to go.
