Happy Anniversary, Allies!
Getting this enterprise off the ground was one thing. Lasting two whole years is another. When we got into this Patreon I was elated because it meant that I was going to keep doing what I love. Now it means even more, because of the amazing opportunities that are opening up to us. We can gather around the gloriousness that is video games, but things like Box Peek and our second Concert this past weekend are on another level for me. They're something that a greater audience can enjoy. It's work that you can appreciate without knowing who we are. It's stuff like this that we've wanted to make, and you've asked about, for a long time. Seeing pieces of it finally come together fills me with a joy that's hard to describe.
Some of the greatest bits of creativity come from you, the community. We had to stop requesting "And For That Reason…" entries during the podcast because there were just too many good ones to talk about. Our Community Showcase continues to impress each month, and some of my favorite conversations have spawned from excellent questions and submissions. So as year 3 begins, I encourage you to maintain that engagement. Introduce yourself to people on Twitch, ask me that burning question on Cup of Jones, contact us through Patreon when you have a concern. We have tremendous strength in numbers here at Easy Allies. Not just money, or subscriptions, or followers, but people with opinions to express and dreams of where we can steer this crazy ship.
I've never been prouder of the fine gentlemen I work with each day, and the incredibly supportive audience we're fortunate enough to entertain. I look forward to talking to you about some fun stuff we have planned in the coming months. Each step of the way has been built by you, no matter how much you donate, or how long you've been an ally.
It was a fun party this week. Time to get back to work!
