they actually raised a lot of money in the last few minutes, feels like they didn't really push very hard for most of the run

love that somehow in playtesting From Software didnt have a single person that just ran behind the last two bosses.

A failed final incentive, wow - going to be interesting to see how GDQ staff handles this.

I am not too proud to admit that I had to do that Radagon glitch to beat the game. The final boss was so infuriating on my mage build that I simply couldn't tolerate going through the Radagon fight each time to make attempts.

For me Hoarfrost stomp was still GOAT and helped me beat a lot of the tough endgame bosses, and Elden Beast glitched out for me allowing me some free hits. By that time I had a lot of open world fatigue (yet also continued the game afterwards to find all the spots I missed) so I didn't mind cheese.

they're 100% going to add in twitch sub money via announcement and do the run anyway

They can't end on a bum note, that'd be such a bad idea. I hope they have some skips up their sleeve.

They already did, but they can dump in what they got during the run, doubt it’s more than 10k tho

the “pricing” has been off for the entire event tbh. at least two bonus games had to get pushed back to get the goal met and those that weren’t just barely scraped by the skin of their teeth.

final game being a bonus game is a pretty big misstep imo. hard to get excited about the final run of the event when we don’t even know if it’s going to be run or not!

Honestly, even with missing the final incentive this was a pretty successful GDQ. Hiccups here and there and the Blacktastic getting kind of hosed not withstanding

Absolutely agreed on all points. There's gotta be some real soul-searching about their pricing for next AGDQ.

they have done it successfully before, but i agree. last run on the schedule should not be a bonus game for this reason

Yeah, can't help but wonder if people are feeling the pinch from inflation and gas prices and w/e so not shocked they didn't quite get 3 million, but still, glad they raised as much as they did.

My conspiracy theory is that this GDQ ended up poorly timed, considering the whole "we're entering a recession" narrative we keep hearing about. The economy's been better. That being said, almost $3 million is still incredible.

Edit: Yeah, what OneMoreTime said

Yeah tech issues are to be expected with first on-site event in a while plus constantly switching between remote and onsite.

He really is stalling for 100k, but pretty soon he's gonna have to start telling jokes or something
