Kickstarter page and pledges
2 Player Productions accepted pledges from people over the web through a service called Kickstarter. These Pledges are the money that 2 Player Productions will use to fund the movie "Minecraft: The Story of Mojang". 2 Player Productions stopped accepted pledges at Saturday Mar 26, 2:49am EDT. In the end, they got exactly $210,297, more than enough to reach the $150,000 goal. There was only 3,631 backers, and so the average pledge was around $58. All backers earned rewards. The type of reward corresponds with the amount of money you pledged (pledging more money means you get a bigger reward). On March 9, 2011, 2 Player Production reached their goal by exceeding $150,000. The day after, people unbacked, meaning they get their money back and the total amount of money earned dropped to $145,000. After that, the amount gradually grew, taking a leap on the last day, when last minute backers pledged. 2 Player Productions posted a long backer-only update thanking everyone. Minecraft: The Story of Mojang is the 3rd most pledged project in Kickstarter.
