Folks, we're really down to the wire on this and are currently pretty far short of the funding threshold to make our game a reality. We're still hoping that we get a last minute rush, so if you'd like to support the work we do... check out our game. www.techdirt.com/2024/12/18/d...

techdirt.comDown To The Wire: Last Two Days To Back One Billion UsersTomorrow is the last day of our Kickstarter campaign for One Billion Users. We’re still beneath the funding threshold, so unless there’s a big closing rush, this campaign won’t reach our goal…

We put a lot of effort into making a truly fun game, even about a topic many people want to hate on: what it's like to run a social media network. While the reality of doing so may be hellish, playing a game about it is actually a lot of fun. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mma...

This sounds great. The premise seems like it could have some real legs to it. As far as card games go it feels like a natural fit for the format. Variety and player agency play a big factor in card based game and this sounds like it could have both.

Thank you!

Separately, I'll note that almost exactly one-third of our backers so far have come from Bluesky directly, which is an impressive show of the reach of Bluesky, though would still be cool to push that number up (early on it was over 40%.
