Video Games Live Meets Its Kickstarter Goal
Video Games Live's Kickstarter campaign has ended today, raising more than $35,000 over its funding goal. The money will go toward recording a studio album of gaming music.
"Thank-you all from the top & bottom of my heart!" wrote VGL founder Tommy Tallarico in the most recent Kickstarter update. "You have made the dreams of many come true! And the only way I can thank-you enough is by working as hard as I did over the past month to ensure this album and project are as mind-blowing as possible! My goal (and reward to everyone involved) is to get this album at the top of the Billboard Charts! We all deserve bragging rights...and I will work my hardest to deliver!"
The campaign ended at $285,081, with an initial goal of $250,000. If you missed out, it's not too late to back the project. Tallarico is offering digital-only tiers on the VGL site.

Our Take
This one came down to the wire, but in the end Tallarico was able to persuade enough backers. Congrats to all involved.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
