Well we didn't quite get there, but weren't too far off. I'm optimistic we'll get *something*

It'll be in. No way they'd want the downer of announcing the Gullet is scrapped. Instead they can come across as bros and include it anyway.
I don't really see how 33k is a problem for InXile. If they were some small indie studio, sure, but InXile is way too big right now to say "sorry it's not happening". Sheesh I mean, cmon, keep the donations open or something so you can gain back the money as time goes by.
Ah, not exactly what I meant.
The protagonist is the aptly named Hiro Protagonist, whose business card reads "Last of the freelance hackers and Greatest swordfighter in the world." When Hiro loses his job as a pizza delivery driver for the Mafia, he meets a streetwise fifteen-year old girl nicknamed Y.T. (short for Yours Truly), who works as a skateboard Kourier (courier), and they decide to become partners in the intelligence business (selling data to the CIC, the for-profit organization that evolved from the CIA's merger with the Library of Congress).

Yes certainly they will say: people we have reached 86% of the goal, but this is not 100%. So we cannot give you a Gullet in T:ToN, because we don't have the $33k. So in other words for those people who contributed extra money for the Gullet: "F... you!" 
In their current situation they have only one good option: to give us the Gullet, be bros, have also additional advertising and have a positive reputation from this move.

I wonder if there are even potential buyers left, other than me.
(I did pledge but only 5$ as I was using a PREpaid card and had nor the time nor the will to go and replenish it, so that was what was available. On the other hand that bought me nothing, not even a discount on the finished product, so it amounted to a donation)

Yes together with the red boots.
Dammit! Take some funds from the Wasteland 2 profits to fill that gap...

The money they're asking for is actually worth a lot more than The Gullet. It's probably enough for another full time Environment Artist + ObamaCare or something.

They just don't want to cut down expenses on whores. And it's perfectly understandable.

Roguey let me answer this. DOS has not the footprint of Torment in the history of cRPGs. Larian was excused because of DC, while inXile has trained on W2. Therefore inXile has no excuses, and the claim for cutting parts out of the game, by lacking the 31.6k on the date 16th of October would be a bad advertisement for inXile. Also to add is that Larian has cut parts which are story wise not so important like the Mega Dungeon, but the lack of the Day and Night cycle really hurts. And you guessed correctly that this is a extreme workload for Larian.
The Gullet is part of the Bloom and while it seems not so important it offers possibilities like meeting the half digested Artaglio, and change the fate you have condemned him to.
To add some pathos or to sound pathetic (i always confuse this two things):
Cutting parts out of T:ToN is like cutting out parts of flesh of a living being, every cut is painful and a torment for the vision of T:ToN. And only this vision as a whole can master to dethrone PS as the most fantastic cRPG.
anonymous said: Now that there are "only" 217k (out of the targeted 250k) at disposal - is the Gullet still going to make it?
gziets: Since we didn’t hit the stretch goal, the Gullet is still [C] priority. That means we’re not planning to implement it. But if we have extra time/budget available later, it’ll still be on the list of things we could add to the game.

What for? Those people knew they weren't pledging to a Kickstarter. I doubt you'll see many complaints. Especially since plenty of them probably used the money to buy alpha/beta access after the impressive gameplay video.
