Replying to Purple Guy #megazon6 That was once but he asked for money for other things a lot, like “re-fund the fundraiser” to play DvZ and then idk what he did with all that money
I didn't even know he did that

like, refund the fundraiser as in uquest?
oh, the Willy's magic ride thing
Well it was just “we have spent all our fundraiser money”
So, spoiler alert, same with the kickstarter
he lives off of it
that's what all internet fundraising is for
a lot of the mindcrack guys where burning out or had burnt out at that time
It was definitely set up in a way that “this money will be used for UQuest” iirc
it would of gone down anyway, i think rob just made it faster
So i just checked out of curiosity since it should give us a good idea of rent
all the appartments in robs area got for 2k a month
at the lowest
I assume he does not live in a 0 bedroom studio appartment though
since we know it has rooms
I don't judge Rob for living in a non-shithole
toronto is a shithole
I have no idea why he still lives there, he works online, he could move 30-40 minutes away and save like 500 a month
- 1
and Megazon, "the money will be used for uquest"
to me says "this is enough money for my wife and I to dedicate 2 years to making the game"
yeah, for uquest means "I will live on this so I can work on uquest"
sure there are some assets/music he'll buy
but that's fairly small
Oh ok yeah
This was in 2016 I think
But yeah true
the Willy's Magic Ride stuff was weird
it was just a Twitch donation goal iirc
and every week they met the goal, he'd comitt to doing another week of DvZ
also, i don't remember well, but wasn't hermit craft nowhere near as large at that time
but they failed week 1 or week 2 (because Rob fucked it up)
and he never did it again
yep here we go
alright spooky, to derail just before you dump shit
rob might actually grow this month
he grew by 1 this month
hes up 8 so far
we'll see
sorry let me clarify
what I mean is, get above where he ended the previous month at
no start above the previous month start
he's never done that yet
thats the post artists leaving image
after he lowered it from like 23k or whatever
that's how high it got
I swear he cleared a month
no he did not lol
not even close
but however you slice it
$20k/month via direct donations
will always be insane
yeah
if he just kept doing URL, he'd have been fine
I still love the text on that shit
between URL, patreon, ads, twitch subs/bits
he was doing great
"I will not do urealms live to make money, but if you don't pay me, I will"
even if it was shrinking
This was mental breakdown Rob though
the guy who slept on HiveQueen's husbands couch for a week
"Cancel your twitch sub and give me money directly. Get bent Amazon these are my fans.
Close your patreon and give me money directly." I wonder how many of the massive patreon drop was from this, but then they just never came back
the drop preceeded this
sure, but this probably didn't help
the "I'm canceling URealms, go love HiveQueen now"
losta lot
and then
the "you guys didn't donate enough to HiveQueen, fuck my fans"
lost a LOT more
Looking at the numbers before rob turned off his amount earned
robs per patreon jumped like 2 dollars
during the drop
so it probably did not initially hurt as badly as it looked
it was all his 1 dollar-5 dollar patreons pulling out
the whales stayed for the most part
assuming that's correct, that's what I'd expect too though
since it's not until the end of the month
yeah
that the patrons get charged
