They're about to make bank off Patreon. This shyt was planned. :patrice:
Gametrailers had too much overhead, now they can just broadcast from their house and make 3-4 times as much as they ever did.

Yeah, id like to know this as well
I think the business model needed to change. A video site in 2016 needs fan support to even have a shot. I think that's why Giantbomb stopped all the video reviews because the costs were just getting out of control hosting it themselves and needed that CBS money to keep going.

Nah breh, it's pretty tried and tested. Kinda Funny games did it, Jim Sterling did it. Patreon is the best place if you have an established fanbase; those fools pull in over 30K a month and they film in their house twice a week. :manny:

That's not even including potential Youtube revenue either. :ufdup:

Fred.
it got bought by a large media company that made terrible decisions for it because it was trying to use GT's success to bolster other web properties. that large company never really cared about GT nor really understood why it worked, so they milked it for ad revenue while destroying it at the same time

Yeah, I don't think it would have ever been able to support itself without it though. What video site you know can survive on its own anymore with the animal that is YouTube?
