No part of that says that sales are crowdfunding. 

Then go look up the definition of capital and investment.


I just knew you were going to try and stretch the meaning of words. From Investopedia...

Capital refers to financial assets or the financial value of assets, such as funds held in deposit accounts, as well as the tangible machinery and production equipment used in environments such as factories and other manufacturing facilities. Additionally, capital includes facilities, such as the buildings used for the production and storage of the manufactured goods. Materials used and consumed as part of the manufacturing process do not qualify.

I get your argument, but it is flawed. You are trying to say that money from sales can be defined as a financial asset, and therefore can be defined as capital. Under that definition though, a huge swath of games can be defined as crowdfunded.  For Example: Super Mario 64 was "Crowdfunded" from the sales of Super Mario World.
