They're in some difficult terrain for sure. Tim Schafer and Bryan Fargo could rely on the fans of classic adventures and RPGs who've been waiting for such games for a long time. OTOH there's a gazillion of shooters on the market, with varying degrees of realism. While I wish them all the best, I doubt they'll get the needed 200,000 $. Also the sum seems quite a bit small compared to the initial goals of the DoubleFine game (400,000) and Wasteland 2 (900,000).
