general

because he abandoned the other things people loved

its a testament to how good the stuff he does well is that people still support him

because they started being work

5 people support him

those 5 people are gonna lose interest at some point

yeah 5 people are willing to spend 10k a year on him

especially if this shitshow keeps up

thats a really bad business plan

its a bad business plan

but its better than my patreon with zero patrons

with how small his community is there is now way he should be able to make ebnough money

if you think of it like a normal business

he has some angel investors

considering how bad his content production is, he shouldn't get rewarded for this crap

but this is what i'm saying though

and he has until they back out to turn a profit

urealms shouldn't be seen as a business

that's rob's first mistake

why

it could be a business, but rob has not set it up like that

if he set it up like a business people could actually hold him accountable

hes doing what he always has done and its still working so far

I don't know how much longer it will

thats the problem, if rob keeps making crap like this those 5 people who fund him could leave

Rob talks about doing this for 20 30 years

and then the buff wizzers he's roped into quitting their jobs will be without income

I cannot see it lasting more than 5

i wouldn't be surprised if it ended this year

but anyways, I have to shower, I will be back later to rant

if you have employees working for you and depending on you for a salary you need to grow up and run your business like a proper business

What is a proper business

one with actual schedules and deadlines

which of the wizards actually quit thier job?

nisoven?

wasn't coe going to

The artists probably

?

isn't coe's job basically twitch?

and deadbones was going to move to canada iirc

coe's also streaming everyday

ever

he was still working as a consultant when i still watched his streams

idk if justin has a job, though if he does or not. he was like that pre rob

i don't think justin does

he streams fulltime

and it's working out alright for him

i think coe still does. i know nicomie 100% does

because rob employs him

(justin)

i don't think rob has more to do with justin's success than all the other people he streams with tbh

justins stream also is very generous to him

rob's current business is "make 10k every 4 months from streams and survive off patreon"

when it was initially supposed to be every week

and patreon was going to be dissolved

justin was also living with his family for a while

the every week thing was a bit nieve

especially sense he has other things going on he needs to do

"other things he needs to do" like a 3 minute meme video he spends way too much time making

yes

and that game he'll never finish

uquest

i used to think it would be a good game

yeah, not a single negative comment on the rob video, read all of them

i don't actually know anything about uquest other than all the disappointment every time it is mentioned

it was supposed to be an action rpg sidescroller set in the unforgotten realms universe

with comedy and references everywhere

but then he divorced his wife who was also the art director

i think the kickstarter might also have been funded largely by a couple people

now the project is using sixelona(?)'s art and the url universe

there have been no public releases of gameplay video or assets in probably at least a year

1310 backers pledging about a $100 each

bu rob has not abandoned it because he used DVZ to gain additional funding for the project last fall

he didn't make 1M

i thought he made 300k

118k

big donations will bring the average up

wait i did math wrong

i realize that, zingly
