Must have been the podcast thirst lol.
I'm sure the $1 tier was just over 800 earlier. They might have moved to the $5 to get that sweet sweet early podcast.

without spoiling, was the podcast good???
It was pretty damn glorious. Better intro music started us off and then it was like they never left.

All you wanted was to see their content one last time?
It's the same as the other Patreon big hitters. I mean, if someone really wanted to rip them off, I'm sure they could find the link to the podcast out there, just like you can find even Giant Bomb links to premium content on their servers. And that's a proper security gated system backed by a big company,

Of course not, just thought there was a more secure way that Patreon handled that stuff. New to this whole thing.
Yeah, new to Patreon. Not sure how this worked to be honest.
Nah, they've not got the server infrastructure for that. I believe you can upload audio directly to it, as long as it's shorter than 90 minutes and 100MB which makes it pointless for most podcast purposes.

Just got done with the podcast. Super great start! Kick some cheese tonight
Yeah, got the auto email through. Logon to your Patreon and it's there as a post to all $5+ backers.

Audio version of the podcast is up for patrons. It's being hosted on soundcloud. It will be uploaded to Itunes on Friday for non patron users along with the youtube version becoming listed.
The free friday versions are gonna come out "Late, late" Friday according to the patreon post, I guess as a way to drive more people to pledge money

Are you only going to listen to the first months podcast? Lol. I'm not sure what your confused about.
The way content creators usually handle this on Patreon is through unlisted videos and such.
💕 a warm blacket, being at home with friends and family
Also, it's a bit like saying "what's stopping me from going to torrent sites and steal all the games?" (i know one it's illegal and the other isn't but i'm talking from a personal ethics standpoint) I mean, if you pledge it's because you want them to continue doing what they're doing, first and foremost.
I doubt anyone is going to bother to pull that scam to have a free podcast 2 days early, assuming it's even possible, since i think Patreon takes the money at the start of the month, so you pay in advance.

Is there a sense of how podcasts do throughout the week numbers-wise? Having a late Friday one (instead of first thing Friday) seems like an odd move. Missing out on commuters and all that.
I started to get into GT "personality" stuff in the last couple years (after going there for reviews and trailers for yeeeears), but the podcast was the one thing I never really started up, so this is effectively my first one. Pretty good! Glad to have one more in the rotation.

It probably won't be late Friday all the time, that's just to give backers a long enough exclusive period after this went up late.
That said, I always watch the Linus Tech Tips podcast on a Saturday morning, usually hungover to fuck. Friday night ready for Saturday morning is good for me.

A new 40K goal could help drum up some interest and keep momentum going.
Is it confirmed that they're renting a new studio or just revamping the garage into one?
With Blood saying if they hit 50k it'd be enough to bring most of them on full time, I'd imagine that's not factoring in studio rent.
Like what though? There's no way they can promise new content right now. Might be good to add it after things are running smoothly though. Deliver on what they promised, then slot something in.
It's still the fastest daily rising Patreon in terms of numbers of people backing.
I agree, there should be something between 30k and 50k. Not sure what though, but agree that something will keep the momentum going.
They confirmed they'd rent a studio space, I think it was during Toybox Tuesday

Don's Design Lab could make a comeback!
... Wait, you're right. Maybe something to ask him once his case is done!

On the old ManUps review scale/mood!
Speaking of reviews, think it was mentioned here but Brad is going to chip in with some reviews too. Kinda looking forward to see what sort of tone he does as I can always tell if it's Ben, Huber or Blood reviewing right now even if it's Jones reading them all.

It feels like people are coming up with unlikely worst case scenarios every day, it's like a 'to good to be true' syndrome.
I don't know if the numbers allow that but if 40K would enable a second person to do this full time it'd be a worthy cause.

AAAAA, LOVE IT! Podcast's amazing!
Looks like Ebb Software is one of the $500 patrons. They're making the horror VR game everybody thought was made by Sony Bend.
Another option is to include in the 40k tier a full time dedication from all the guys in EZA...

I'm I the only one worried about having them full time jobs?

Sure, is best if they all in it full time, but if we can get same amount of content, I'm all good, full time or not.
I don't think they would need full time jobs adding patreon, twitch subs, merch, etc...Another option is to include in the 40k tier a full time dedication from all the guys in EZA...

Maybe part time? Some work as freelance? journalist or something?
Note: I have no idea of how expensive is living in LA, their financial obligations, etc.
This is a fun bit to listen to (from Kinda Funny's excellent Gamescast episode with Brandon): https://youtu.be/hxj4-17Cuo8?t=20m46s

Great point.
Before they know patreon reaction, EZA will be their part time gigs on top of a full time job, now I think it's the other way around, this will be their full time gigs with what ever freelance gigs on the side.

Dat British Jones.
Yeah, though i am a bit worried about the support going forward.
It's easier to pledge high, getting swept up in the excitement, but i hope this continues to be steady (even if they don't get higher than this) indefinitely.

There's 9 of them, right? Dunno if every single one of them is full on @ EZA (Damiani's fully in by now?) - in terms of commitment to the project, not "full time job"
They are currently at $31000/month? Patreon's taking its cut (dunno how much), any taxes on this?
anyway, just for the sake of the argument, $31000/9 is $3444 if split evenly. Don't know what's their overhead, but I don't think they have it set up like that (everyone gets an equal share) and that that's enough for a full-time job. ¯\_(ツ_/¯BUUUT, Pateron + Twitch + eventual sponsorships (Squarespace? Looking at you GB!
), I hope it's enough for them to have a nice money cushion to do what they want.Its also going to depend on commitments they made. No one expected this is go where it went. Some of them may have took jobs, and its in poor taste to quit a job you just got

The figure we see on the Patreon page (31K) is an estimate AFTER Patreon takes its cut and fees

Who ho!
Yeah, I think someone last night said that Blood told twitch chat that Ian had another job already.

But they don't necessarily need everyone onboard all time, full time, that would actually be a waste of the money earnt.
