I also think that is the better system.

Pledge for the other produced content that they'll have. That's what I've done.

8 PLAYER LIVE SMASH HYPE!
I generally agree... the Indiana Jones discussion they just had is the sort of thing that separates these guys (for me) though. It's not just them goofing around with 8 STOCK SMASH , but offering impromptu reviews of other games in the flow of conversation.

I really like these guys, I'm super excited to see them back and I'm part of the patreon.
But yeah, I'm supporting for the podcast and shows. Streams just aren't my thing.
But hey, more support to them means more content besides streams (at this point we are already looking at an extra podcast, reviews and shows by Bosman, Huber, Ian and Damiani), so consider giving your support if you can afford it.
Hit the nail on the head.

I pledged, and I'm really excited, but I'm sort of bummed that the Bosman show won't be on there. I'll be honest when I say that his show was the main thing I watched on GT. It's awesome that he's still technically going to do it, but from what he said, it might not be a consistently-released thing. :-(
Unfortunately I'm not interested in game streams. And that seems like a big part.

Read the fine print. Bosman is doing the show regardless of Patreon and EZA is hosting t.

same here. i like their shows and specials for conferences and bets. watching guys play video games doesn't really interest me regardless of who it is since i'd prefer to just be playing the games myself. hope the focus is more on original content and not live streaming gameplay. then again i guess if they do both everyone is happy.
aj. i dunno what else he's done besides voice marty mcfly in BTTF telltale game haha

I wouldn't care either, but somebody else probably does. Why else even mention it as a reward to entice more donations then?
Don't really want to dwell on the topic just the whole point is that I was agreeing with the one guy who said it didn't seem to be the greatest idea, but whatever it really isn't that important.
I have zero interest in watching streams. That being said, I am in it for the podcasts (two a week!), the reviews, and the shows.

I really should get back into BB.
Sure, but I hope they use that money to make all their lives a little easier. The goals on their patreon look a little aggressive to me, I am hoping they can use that padding to make sure things go smooth for all the individuals involved.

Yeah Patreon subs should be the base. Everything else like twitch/youtube subs and monetization should go towards all the extra baggage that comes with providing content daily.
Some new equipment will be essential and saving for what they think will provide better experience will be good.
Even if they don't reach 50,000 the right equipment can make all the difference in providing that professional looking content like the good ol days.
They could always do make shift renovations on Brandons living room lolol

They will have content that isn't streams. Their streams will help them do the content you probably want! Like reviews, retrospective, video podcasts, etc. Not to mention Kyles going to being his own show as well.
Got caught up in that hype. It's cool.

25K is way higher than I expected in a day. Very happy for them.

So close to getting that updated FINAL FANTASY Retrospective we all wanted. 
I hope they figure out a better setup for their group streams, so we can see them more clearly but still have the gameplay/other conten on screen be clear as well. Something like giantbomb would be ideal, and the equipment does cost a few grand (but it's a one time thing). I think the main issue would be how often will they be doing the group streams (whether it'd be worth it to invest in this setup) and how complicated would such a setup be to operate.
Edit: Also thought of another one. Something like the one videogames awesome (farfromsubtle) uses could be great too and probably costs less to setup.
3 hours left still.

is the 12 hour stream done? 25k in one day is amazing

Not true, actually. Revenue is calculated based on watchtime, so they'll make the same amount if someone watches five cut-up videos vs one full length one. In fact, if it's a really long video and people watch the whole thing, that will help boost its search ranking.

So great to see these guys back at it. I hope this new venture is successful!

As long as they put out some good sized content they will be good. They got a lot of things they can work into their schedule. I'm sure they'll be sitting down soon and figuring it all out. As for the pledge withdrawals. I don't think it'll be that harsh. A couple thousand at most. Lets just work on that 30,000 goal for now!!!

I have no idea what it is, but there's something about grown ups getting ultra into Mario Party that's hilariously compelling.

If every Twitch subscriber used the money on Patreon instead we would be quite close to 30k :d.
Not that I personally care too much. The retrospectives are cool but not something I really need from them.

It's a bit of a shame in that Twitch takes a lot more of that $5 than Patreon would.

I can't believe that 30K goal is actually in sight. The fact i may actually get to see a new retrospectives blows my mind (DO SONIC!)
