I really hope the initial drop-off isn't going to be that large and they keep growing at a reasonable pace. I also hope they don't feel the need to rush things, seeing how quickly the money comes in. I wouldn't mind it if some shows would take few weeks to get going. A disappointing first impression would be worse for Patreons, imo.
Use the patreon money, you guys could do your podcasts in it!

Do you (by chance) know if Kyles new show will be on a seperate YT channel or on their new one?
Looking forward to it, I can't even describe how much I've missed GT Time
That's awesome and should give them more traction.

They're the most entertaining to watch during E3 so I'm so happy they're back.

20k goal for Michael Damianis New Show, might be new Pop Fiction/Retrospective

So I just cancelled my vpn at 10 bucks a month because that shit don't work for Netflix anymore.
Also cancelled my giant bomb sub. So that's $170 free for these guys. I just put in 10. I'd be in for a 15 tier. 20 is a little too rich for me right now.
One thing I don't get about their patreon.
They say like "ohhh, $200 a month for a new sub song". They need this monthly? Why? Same with the couch, equipment, etc. These aren't recurring costs. Or will these change next month?

They're not recurring, but it's more that they'd need a certain level of interest to make these one off costs worth it. After they're done,the money just goes towards supporting them generally.
It would be amazing if this worked out and allowed them to do all the stuff they were before - even already, it's amazing. I was never as engrossed with GT as I probably should have been, but I love that there is now a platform for them directly to their fans that allows them to continue their passion after traditional business can't support it. Best of luck to them all.
Is that included in the 50k tier?

There were inherent costs which needed to be covered (ie, the podcast and rotating daily streams etc). The song and couch were just fun things to put on the low end.

Oh no, corporate sponsorship... EasyAllies are Sony shills now.
Nah, this is actually great. Hopefully it attracts the attention of some of Shus 223k followers.

The best $30 monthly sub I've ever made.

I guess the point is: if we get $200 a month, we will gather in the same room and sing the song, sit on the couch, play the games, etc.. for you.
Love the community support from fellow people in the industry.

This video was hilarious. Very glad to see them back, I'm going to support them.

Right. I was hoping maybe once they've covered those, the other milestones would reduce. No matter.
Wish them all the best. This will probably cap out at around 15k I think.

I'm glad that they aren't trying to live off this and it's just going to go into supporting as much as the money allows.

I instantly pledged, please bring back Table Top adventures!
They've already nat 20'd that goal. It's coming!
The hardcore will be there first of course, but I've always personally thought that the GT fanbase skewed slightly older than a lot of video game sites, probably much like GBomb and therefore have more disposable income.
Down the line, people will get introduced to their videos and go "That was neat, I'll chuck them a buck a month" and bring the average down too.

Next you'll be telling us that Bosman actually has a house, EZA is full of lies already
Patreon is unpredictable, but yes, that will sometimes happen.

First I was like "why are we calling them EZA now"
Then I was like "calling them EA probably wouldn't be a good idea"

Elyse though ;_;
i should have taken a screenshot but i asked bosman in the chat if they were going to collate all the videos in one place and he said that he was thinking he'd put his videos up on the easyalliance youtube channel as well as his own.
i'm sure he will qualify this when he wakes up and see how successful the patreon has become.
I'm in of course.
Curious how they're gonna be able to support this as a part time thing, if it was problematic to keep the schedule intact when it was their full time job.
Maybe not having reviews will be that much of a big deal.
I'm a bit worried by Bosman doing FB "on the side", it's arguably their biggest show, and having it separated from the EZA channel seems like an incredibly dumb idea.
Consider someone who just followed Final Bosman back in the day, he now subscribes to Bosman private channel, without ever even checking out Easy Allies.

Only $500 to go, then two podcasts. TWO!!!

Well at least they are local so if things do not get them a live thing.
They can do a stream alone just like GB does from home.
Go to the show and just report back at night from home again.

Going to back right now, my first Patreon. Hype!
Three people are already in at the $200 play D&D with Ben tier. If Shu showed up for that....

But that would also make him an official sponsor of the show.
