There definitely aren't huge numbers of people unsubbing at the last minute, but yes, we can block people if necessary. Jones confirmed that the payment never went through for Thrillhouse and another sponsor last month. That amounted to $2500 combined. We don't want to assume the worst, but we had to block them to re-open those slots.
Thanks for the explanation. :)
Ps: I'm the guy that tweeted you about the GRIP game. Hope you'll lile the game
Box Peek update is out.
The plan now is to have it be two seasons of 5 episodes each, with the first five to drop late October, and the other half in February.

It'll be interesting to see how natural the split between the first 5 eps and the second half turns out to be. Also, thank goodness he decided not to go with Plan F, the one where he'd switch to a simpler animation style to get things done faster. As Huber says, let it cook.
I say leave it alone.
EZA growth has been phenomenal and it seems like you guys are breaking personal records at the end of each month.
Last thing you guys need right now is to stifle that growth. If you guys JUST started, I would say maybe switch. But you have 50k, and 7500 Patrons and growing. Don't rock the boat.
If someone wanted to game the system, they'll always find a way. Its really easy to share youtube links.
How many alerts do we think they're going to get in Metal Gear Solid? My bets on a solid 20, pun intended.
Also, from what I've seen elsewhere, upfront payment seems to cause more confusion than its worth. As you said youself Bloodworth , new patrons tend to get confused and feel like they've been short-changed.

^ just about the hardest I have ever laughed watching EZA
along with some Law escapades and various Don quotes
just got there.
I think this game about lowest sales in each category is accurate so far though.
At least the Nintendo side for sure.
edit:
and not anymore. nope everything is off.

but it's clear sales isn't their forte. Which is fine.
But it's weird how often they bring up sales when they don't actually care a huge amount about them.
their industry insight and historical gaming knowledge from guys like bloodworth and Jones is more interesting to me.
i didn't really mind the index. but it was clear kyle wanted more arguments over the rankings, but that didn't happen. And people didn't use the power much.
Hoping we get Ben on the podcast next week, seems like a long time since he was on. Without Ian as an actual panellist there's very little variation.
Hopefully, I like the fact that his hype for a game doesn't inlfuence too much his opinion on the game at the moment of reviewing it as much as in other allies.
He did.
I think Kyle was going to keep this segment on until somebody did what Damiani did (I feel like Kyle was hoping somebody would do that for a couple of episodes).
It was created to piss people off and make the allies troll each other.
It did what it was made to do (Damiani took the bait) so Kyle stopped the bit.
I honestly liked it, but it was never meant as a serious segment. It was just Kyle trolling everybody with a bit that was spread out over multiple episodes. I don't think Damiani did anything wrong at all, he just did what Kyle wanted all along.
I am surprised it took this long and nobody else did the same thing a couple of episodes earlier.
It seems to me most people were fooled by the bit.

Damiani didn't even try to break it. It was Kyle breaking his own rules about the last word to create chaos
Damiani didn't ruin the desire index. They talk about this in the Community Showcase. Damiani did exactly what Kyle wanted to happen with the Desire Index; it was the other allies not really fighting (or trolling) when they didn't agree with a placement that "ruined" it. Kyle wanted shenanigans, wild fluctuations week to week, back stabbing, etc.
That seems to be the case for sure.
He likes to poke the hornets nest with a stick. Damiani does that sometimes as well, so I am sure Kyle was hoping that Damiani would do something more "radical" with the list and that's why he "forgot" his own rule.
It was all meant to be. The fact that we are still talking about it makes it a win for Kyle.
edit:
And let's be honest, they all know Kyle well enough to understand what Kyle tried to do with the Desire Index.

Can't remember if it matters or not, but the podcast was recorded before NPD released this month, I think.
Blood has played it and mentioned writing a review for it. I'm sure we'll hear about it when he's on FT next as well.
The art style and genre have always interested me and the fact that the 3 games are on Switch now makes me feel now is the time to play them. Backlog woes though
yey I played the first 1 and somehow missed out on playing 2 so far but I really liked the first game I always meant to return to it and finish it out.
it was about Q1 reports and historical game sales, so no not really
yeah, there was a lot of stuff that was way off.
The Desire Index wasn't a win for anyone. Most boring segment in podcast history.
I personally enjoyed listening to them talk about those games, but it's not that I will miss it either.
It was an ok segment and it did what it was intended to do.
It was created to piss people off (and to have something to talk about as there wasn't a lot of news to talk about) and it did exactly that, so yeah, I am sure people complaining about it is a win for Kyle.
I completely agree. It for sure wasn't meant as something serious. The same with the Hall Of Greats, Trailer Jones or whatever list they do (I guess that their GOTY awards is somewhat more serious of course).
It's all in good fun and it's usually very enjoyable to watch (at least to me), so that's all that matters.
There was a guy on Cup of Jones who was very concerned about how they were dealing with potential bias of those giving out trailer scores XD
If EZA were treating actual reviews like jokes I would get it, but they do a great job with those
Podcast segments, Hall of Greats...some people take a lot of things way more seriously than others around here lol.
