$65,000 a month. $780,000 a year.
I wonder how much he pays his contributers. Even if Chris, Cog, Matty, Gene, Brad, Ben, Dagan and Micah are on 50k, and Dustin makes 100, Colin is still banking around 300k.

I find it hilarious how he rubs all this stuff in EZA faces. First the response where he threw some jabs at EZA for treating Dustin and Brad that way and then also flexed subs amount with $ count as EZA are losing subs and bleeding money

I'm quite enjoying the little games media empire Colin is building, the blackjack and hookers are just icing on the cake.

Been listening to the cast. Seems like its a redux of that eza show where they go deep dive into games and less on news. Rotating crew every week with Brad hosting. Good stuff.

And that's not including ad revenue and the fact that Colin co-owns an indie studio.

More that they're rubbing it in the face of the shadow hivemind on Discord and REEE. There's no animosity within EZA, they're just clueless.I find it hilarious how he rubs all this stuff in EZA faces.

Game focused, less industry focus?

My God. They really think they are holier than thou in Resetera. It's insane. This is not healthy at all. I'm so happy to see them suffer. Is that also unhealthy? Lmao
Side note: what's with regular nobodies thinking they're important enough to say " I will no longer support his content". Who gives a fuck? Humble yourself
Experiment: I wonder if they lurk over here.
Ban me if you do. Got Danny

There are also multiple sponsors and of course what revenue youtube brings and merch but mostly they make their money on Patreon. They don't have a studio though and everyone is at their house so expenses should be low.

Reeee killed Eza. Eza killed themselves.
Great power move by Colin and congrats to Brad.

You could call them a cancer, but that’s being too mean to cancer.

Unlike their LSM's platform-focused podcasts (Sacred Symbols for PlayStation, Defining Duke for Xbox, Punching Up for Nintendo) this one will be platform agnostic and fully focused on discussing games themselves, instead of spending most of the show going through news items. On top of that, except for Brad, it's going to have a rotating cast each week, featuring people from Sacred Symbols, Defining Duke or Punching Up, hence the name "Summon Sign" I guess.

It is pretty clear than the western game dev (western europe, USA) is kinda in decline. Asia, Eastern Europe are rocking nowThese are the idiots making your Western AAA games, folks:
I find it more insane that some Era folks think that they are the smartest people around. Well, I guess if everybody in your echo chamber agrees with you, you start to believe that you are smart.

Ten years and you throw a guy under the bus for taking a steady job. How do these people actually retain any friends at all?These are the idiots making your Western AAA games, folks:
Crazy how quick they can flip around on someone.
A single thing that they don't like and you're on the Naughty list for life and beyond.
It's like they believe themselves to have been absolutely flawless since birth.
Brad seemed like a good dude and he got what looks to be a safe job for a while. Good for him.

I skimmed some responses in that thread. Its like, you either agree with them wholly 1-to-1 or you're reduced to a literal nazi. What in the actual fuck. Absolute insanity on display.These are the idiots making your Western AAA games, folks:
If that thread is anything to go by, they've come full circle and become the monster they detest unbeknownst to themselves.

Quite a bit more I’d guess. That’s just patreon revenue, but they’ve got YouTube, podcast ads, etc. Plus they sell merch.
Gotta say, I agree. Terrible name.

It’s weird, “other people are allowed to have their own opinions, I personally don’t know everything, and I’m not the center of the universe” is something I’d expect a child over the age of 5 or so to understand. But somehow this line of thinking is now considered progressive.

I'm sure Colin would have briefed Brad on how crazy it's going to be to accept the job. Good on him though. Hopefully it's a secure job and a good middle finger to those that almost destroyed your income.

They do have sponsors in their content.
Also I don't think they have that many expenses beyond salaries.
They don't have a studio and everyone records from their home, they also don't attend stuff like conventions or preview events so they don't have to fly out people and pay for their accommodations and things like that.

Colin's a great guy but he has terrible taste in games, a show under the LSM umbrella hosted by a guy with better taste would be great

Thriving financially and slowly growing the channel. Goon for him and his team.Colin announced they've 13000 Patreon paying 5$ a month

Patreon takes a small cut and some fees, so about $700k from Patreon a year. With ads/sponsors/merch that's a decent chunk of change.$65,000 a month. $780,000 a year.
No awareness at all. Who cares, who even know if Brad cares about any of that shit. Dude's probably happy to be getting a decent wage now and LSM has been steady (and growing) in that regard for years now. He's a grown ass man who has to earn a living. Imagine getting paid more money to continue talking about video games. Let the man live.

How bitter do you think it makes the haters that he's becoming more and more successful? Their little psychopathic smear campaign has failed miserably.
I'd bet they're turning over $1m a year at least. Colin will be clearing $200k a year of that minimum, probably more. I'm sure I remember him saying he got $500k for his shares in KF, and for a while he was absolutely raking it in on Patreon from pity subs for doing pretty much nothing. He'll be loaded.

Ad Revenue yes, but I believe Colin has said that the game studio doesn't really make any money once his partner is paid.
