This is accurate in general, but he'll have to do a Final Bosman-esque show at some point, as holding it back affects EZA as a whole.
(But please, we know the deal about Kyle and his work - could we switch gears already?)

Video games are a young person's territory. Most don't survive in popularity after getting older, and nowadays when someone blows up they blpw up.
EZ Allies just seem like a relic. Ionno.
It's amazing to see as a day one patron. They worked their asses off all this time delivering all this great content every single week and word of mouth finally got them there.
Can't wait to witness the next chapter of EZA. The good vibes never end.

This is why I'm glad Giantbomb are doing great after being owned by CBS
Someone made a huge pledge and that inspired others to up their own pledges, and that momentum got them some new patrons as well.
In addition to the weekly podcast they have Frame Trap and Friend Code which are both biweekly and the movie podcast which is monthly, so it averages out to about two a week.
Well, as pessimistic as I am about this holding I might as well do something about it. Upped my pledge a lil. Good E3.
Yeah, wish I could help, but I just paid 2k for wisdom tooth extraction.
Still pledging though.

Final Bosman was legit one of the best content I've ever seen related to gaming, I hope Kyle does something along those lines
With the studio they could potentially increase their weekly podcast production.
He said he was planning a video talking about what a studio would mean to them, I hope he's still planning on it to hold that value and to get others to give a $1.
My thoughts: I think they should do fundraising stream ala the pre-E3 stream. It may seem weird to do that right after reaching this goal, but if they could raise similar to what they did pre-E3, that would give them the runway money to feel secure in funding the studio through any post-E3 patreon dips that might occur over the next few months.
I don't understand why are they good. I mean they're not bad but after watching some reviews they are just another review site in YouTube to me? Why does people like them so much? To me they are like a million other game review sites on YouTube.
Imo their reviews are decent, but it's the other stuff that sets them apart.
The chemistry between the guys is unrivaled. Their reviews are definitely not the main attraction, it's the rapport and passion in the podcasts. I think the EZA podcast and Frame Trap are their best content.
It's a personality based business now and people like them as personalities.
For me, they are the most genuine group of gamers I've ever come across. They are never obnoxious, never gross. They are incredibly classy. I've never ever felt like they aren't passionate about what they're talking about. Further more as a collective bunch they have an incredibly similar mind set to my taste in games. I've never felt like any other gaming personalities related to me in such a way.
What? But they aren't even a "review site" at all. They're gaming personalities who also review games. They're MUCH more loved for their many streams, podcasts, bets, E3 specials, etc. Their reviews are great too, but you're completely missing the point if you think that's their focus or why people love them so much.
Congrats to them.
I stopped funding them for two reason a while ago:
1. I live in the UK so the streams were always middle of the night or early morning.
2. I just cant handle the poor sound they have when all together. Like they all need individual microphones. Id turn it up to hear someone talk at the back to then get ear raped when everything laughed at the front.
Hopefully they can sort out my 2nd issue now. Well done to them. Good bunch of lads.

I think the Allies are fairly unique also in how comfortable many of them seem on camera. They strike me as being the rare outlet with people who have high quality analysis and broadcast worthy on-camera talent. People like Adam Sessler and Victor Lucas had that, mostly since they came from old media, but I think it is largely absent in the new media gaming commentariet.
lol, ive been a patron since day one and I don't think ive watched a review of theirs this year. They are much more than reviews.
-Creative
-Passionate for what they do
-Genuine
-Creative as hell
-Great chemistry
-Not arrogant or obnoxious
-Good and never ill intended
-Professional
-All about creating a community of friends
-Cover all minds of taste
-Not afraid of dong their own unconventional thing
-Seriously just look at their Easy Update, Busted Trifecta, Concert, Box Peek, Dinorama to see how creative and off the wall they are
They are way more than their reviews, that's like 5% of why people like them.
I've been following them since a long time ago, and god damn they are just the best group of dudes talking about games, nothing even comes close.
Definitely. Jones being the most "camera worthy" lol, with that love for play acting in his back ground and of course the voice. But each of 'em bring something unique. I know kyle is one of the biggest draws and is a total fan favorite with his comedic background. I could write a little blurb about each of em because they're all great.
For two, I'm assuming you're upset just mean group streams? All the recorded content has them having a mic each.
I can't speak for anyone but myself, so I'll just share my thoughts.
I only recently found Easy Allies during the lead-up to E3. I enjoy their content because they come off as very genuine to me. In contrast, I don't enjoy Giant Bomb anymore, because they've become a bit jaded and commercial in my opinion.
Huber's enthusiasm is contagious and infectious, I can't help but smile when he gets hyped about something, and it makes me want to take a closer look at those things that I might not normally give as much thought.
The E3 Betting special and results shows were highlights for me. They fed my E3 hype in a fun and interesting way, and helped me sort of understand what Easy Allies was all about.
It's community, love, and respect. And a genuine passion and enthusiasm for games that refuses to let the realities of business form a dark cloud over their favorite hobby.
I love Easy Allies because they make it easy for me to feel excited about video games, regardless of whatever else is going on in the world.
haven't noticed bad audio for a while. They have new audio equipment now since they raised all that money. should watch some of their recent stuff to judge it for yourself.
That's like complaining about more people going to see The Fate of the Furious over Silence. Why even make the comparison? They're not even fulfilling the same category of entertainment.
Wow, hadn't seen this. The cynic in me thinks they should be patient and make sure this amount sustains but if they have managed to keep their budget on point they may just go for it. Congrats to them
