Just watched the replay.

I like the idea of merchandise for some of the rewards. Simple merchandise, I'd take a Gamersyde coffee mug.

Everything else I think you have covered on the Patreon page. However, just glancing over the page and not being familiar with Patreon, is it a one time payment or reoccurring payment month to month?

Pledge $40 or more per month - reads like a subscription.

I'd just like to be clear on it because I want to give you guys some money, but I can't commit to $40 every month.

Also, I think you should get a volunteer to stream everyday/every other day, i.e. that is his job. Not just to show new games or upcoming reviews, but to play any games -- anything helps. Half of those people who stream games with huge audiences don't have shit to say about anything and are as about as interesting as a stack of bricks. I think any sort of publicity for Gamersyde is good publicity and you should take advantage of it. The more people who are aware of the site, the more potential donations, longevity, etc, etc.

Sorry to hear you're having troubles. I disabled my adblocker for this page some months ago and I'm also clicking some ads. I download big videos via torrent and provide some bandwidth then.
However, I do not like to explicitly pay.

Looks like it's going well though. Almost at the $400 goal already.

Awesome! Probably a good idea to have a video on the Patreon page so people know what they'll be paying for.

You need to send us a message via the Patreon page. :)

Last year, the ad company basically gave us no interesting campaign. We had more visitors than the year before but we earned a lot less.

That's fine, we completely understand. You're helping a lot already.

It's like a subscription indeed but you can change what you donate (or stop) anytime you want. As for having someone stream everyday, it is a good idea without a doubt, the only problem being that we'd need someone who can do it in both English and French, and who has the equipment to stream in the same quality as we do. We'll see what can be done.

Thanks a lot for your support guys, we never really thought we could actually get so much money at launch. We know it most cettainly won't be as much every month, which is perfectly understandable of course, but to know that the launch of our Patreon is not a failure means a lot to us.

Also pledged a bit. It's the smallest amount possible but I can't afford more at the moment.

French people are chauvinistic indeed, but they are in their own language for the most part. English is not really their thing. ^^

If we could find two different guys (one French speaking, one English speaking), willing to stream for free, it could make everyone happy. I'm not sure it'll be easy to find them though.

Well the "$40 or more" pledge is there for overly rich people who don't know what to do with their money. :)

That's why i suggested hosting as an alternative, i bet there are a few users who would be ok with streaming a bit every now and then :)

Will set up a monthly donation when i'm home tonight. So many gaming sites have disappeared over the past few years and most of what remains are rubbish. I'd be gutted if anything happened to this place.

Don't you mean a moonlight dinner at the eiffel tower with Miguel? I can picture it now, soft whispers in your ear about how you're using your video card totally wrong.

Naw, bromantic boat ride on the Seine, it passes right by the Eiffel Tower, and if you time it right (about 2100) when they light it up, you'll have maximum bromance, it'll be super effective.

Hey folks. This is problably my firts comment on this website, but I've been using it for a long time.

I usually tell people that this is the best site when it comes to video game trailers and screenshots, it's time to put some money where my mouth is.

Best of luck to you all, keep up the great work.

Like many others, I have been visiting for many years and although I am saving for a house I want to help. I will be the bottom level Patreon for a while but as soon as I can I will be sure to fire some funds your way - your work over the years has been fantastic, and you have been my number one source for great videos!
