checking SGDQ 2021 stats it looks like they're behind by about 15,000

the amount they're off FNAF lol.

At this rate I'm not sure they're going to hit it even with the schedule change. They had that big 5k dono but other than that we're 30 minutes in and they've put like 4k on it.

I occasionally put this on the twitch app on my ps4, and watching gdq on a TV adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the experience

yeah and in comparison the bonus game in 2021 on Monday night was Paper Mario which I'd like to think is far more popular.

there's still a good 40-50 minutes left and i can easily see fangamer or yetee coming in to make up a $5-10k deficit

If they keep doing that the incentives are going to feel like empty bluffs and people might stop bothering to donate towards them

Oh for sure, I would be amazed if it ACTUALLY didn't get hit. But they may have to pull more shell games to make it happen, just have the yhetee pay for it or w/e.

I don't get how Yetee exists as a business. I never heard of them for 50 weeks of the year and the other two they give away all their revenue.

Same, I'm also not sure how gdq pays its normal overhead and logistical costs given all the earnings from the marathons go to charity

they do two shirt daily deals every day where the shirts are exclusive to that day and rarely show up again, so they mostly thrive on FOMO

All the revenue from the people who sub the rest of the year for the hotfix content goes to them but the real source of money is they are paid by the charities to put on these just like they would an event production service for a traditional dinner plate fundraiser.

They do stuff otherwise, but even focusing on this, those tshirts are not dear when bought at their level of bulk. Then throw in the massive number of orders and it's a nice low margin, high turnover model where a large part of your advertising is included already! And they might get some tax rebate as well, but I know dick all about the US tax system.

Quite the opposite, any tech folks in the thread that can delete the FNAF run so I can watch Outlast

I like checking out the super short runs of games Ive never heard of so I looked at the Alien Cabal run and the runner's couple of "Oh nooooooo"s were great.

I'll always remember that movie for the amazing part where pyramid head pulls a womans skin off in one go and throws it at the main characters.

Next bonus game went up (Halo Infinite for $77,777.77) so they either recalculated the bonus game incentives on the fly or seriously miscalculated how much FNAF crossover fandom there was.

Either way, hopefully tomorrow's bonus won't be so much of a death march.
