You actually started kinda strong there.
And then you ruined it. This is why people don't take you seriously, especially here. This is also one of the many reasons why you aren't a CG household name even though you have made "43 issues". If they do know you, they know they don't want anything to do with you, much less going out of their way to search out all the comics you have made and buy them. I only found Dues Vult from looking through Kickstarter or Indiegogo (I don't remember which) and the only reason I saw High School Girl was because of Quaff. You need to find the right time and balance of self dick sucking. For all @FROG's faults, I think this is one of the things he does pretty well(most of the time).

Is it though?
COMICS MATTER W/YA BOI ZACK - 6/7/2022 - FOR THE FANS- ARE LIVESTREAM APPEARANCES THE "DEBT" THAT YOU OWE FOR YOUR OWN CROWDFUNDING SUCCESS?
At what he describes as his most successfully launch ever with a 2 day campaign before going into InDemand, Simple Zack Resplendent feels now is the time to give his unfiltered hot take on all the people who want him to start doing livestreams: he's made double what he made on his Godking launch with this non-marketed, non-toured launch than any of his campaigns where he did go on to people's channels. The data is on his side (now) and people are just going to have to accept that he's never going on a livestream ever again. Comicsgate was never a formal group but a set of principles he still argues, but those principles were based on putting customer service on a pedestal, not "customer interaction". Now, admittedly for the past 3 years Meyer sucked huge ass at both, but now that he's (in theory) got the former down, but he has some words for the people who demand to be able to listen to him carry on "miserable", forced conversations with total strangers on the internet multiple times per week - get a life. Compulsive livestreaming, Meyer argues, is the domain of social defects and the constant online immersion to the exclusion of normal human interaction leads to an unavoidable feedback loop of mental dysfunction. If you can't put a number on what he's getting out of it he aint gonna do it.
Frog forgoed Comicsgate Kings this week, presumably because the other Kings were preoccupied with July 4th celebrations and instead made a stream centered around shilling the Anna "gamer edition" cosplay calendar. Frog, as a middle aged married man, feels it's beneath him to tell his audience to buy Anna's calendar so they can join him in jacking off all over Anna's huge bazongas, but can't really think of a reason for his audience to back the calendar otherwise. What ensues is multiple hours of the sort of forced conversation with an internet stranger with Anna, who has her camera turned off so she can only pay half attention to a shillstream dedicated to her produc and play video games while Frog tries to sell her calendar based off her personality. All in all it seems to be a tailor-made example of Meyer's described livestream hell. These streams were made members-only on account of a newfound effort of revitalizing Frog's channel and/or being affronts to God.
ERIC WEATHERS - 05/07/2022 - LOSS LEADER OR LOST MIND? - CG-TEAM!
Much more interesting than the simp calendar shill streams were streams held by CG letterer Eric Weathers and his panel ensemble show of Clint Stoker, Von Klaus and Shanth Enjeti.
Eric Weathers doesn't really volunteer his own opinion himself, other than noting that Meyer doesn't list him on the campaign because "nobody cares about lettering", but he eagerly reads off the many disillusioned Meyer followers, including creators like Antoine Denison and Matthew Fowler, who are so blackpilledd at this point that even backing Jawbreakers at $1 is an ask.
Clint Stoker, his own reputation on shaky grounds after his interminably delayed and unfortunately prophetically named FATL, was the most positive at seeing someone as equally late as himself getting a second wind on their crowdfunding career. Clint is refreshingly honest - his shit's fucked
Von Klaus used to be a big Zack fan until he became a guy who 'talked the talk but couldn't walk the walk' and wasn't able to respect him as a creator or a businessman anymore, but other then that totally likes the guy and he's definitely open to a redemption arc.
Unrelated Comicsgate outreach project update: Shotgun Samurai creator "The Quaff" continues his flawless CG career by securing the extremely sought after Vito Gesuldi endorsement. Congrats Quaff!

As Malin put it, "The Breakup".

Zack thinks livestreaming is for social defectives but he constantly talks about how much he loves TikTok and can't stay off of Twitter if his life depended on it. What an asshole.

I think Zack has some combo of ADHD/OCD. He’s definitely neuro atypical. I don’t think he can hang with the schedule of a regular streaming gig, and I don’t think he want to feel beholden to his audience.

Adult ADHD, probably. He's not medicated and he probably also has some behavioral issues stemming from his shitty diet of processed fast food. What he calls his OCD is likely just his tendency to be a control freak, which is why he doesn't take people's advice (no matter how sound) and doesn't go on livestreams. Unlike the comments section of his YouTube channel, he can't control things the audience says and he doesn't want to be challenged when he says something retarded. Any possibility of being confronted with an idea that pokes holes in his convoluted reasoning is enough for Zack to refuse to engage.

I feel like this week between Anna going next-level with shilling her plastic bimbo-fication, speeding to the wall like Vince and Larry, while Chrissie Mayr tempts in a 1-piece with lusty middle-aged mom-curves in a "hot tub stream", any male who fancies himself above simping will be tying himself to the nearest object like Odysseus to avoid remunerating these sirens to his own financial ruin. Either that or closing the tab in disgust at the absolute state of it all. One or the other.
Can you imagine trying to achieve a successful irrelevant tangent about your lawn or lunch during a stream with Jon Malin and Cecil deep in their cups? I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it.

Bathtub streaming for lonely men demanding to see your tits is the high-water mark of the Women's Rights Movement. Fifty years of struggle for a drunken superchat. Ain't no glass ceilings in a hot tub!
Where was it?
Yeah. Funny how the Farms has always been right on and ahead of the curve on this stuff. The users here were telling Frog et al to dump WC, ridiculed Frog's reaction to Nerkish, and his reaction Miller's tweet.
Between the drinking and the inflato-thots is CG Livestreaming peek boomer cringe?
I'd argue we'd need to look at the next major project Doug releases.

Well, he ain't wrong. Is this one of his broken clock moments? Must be, when he follows up with that ironic 'social defects' jab.
Vaporware.
Isn't that the guy from one of the Disney Star Wars comics?

I dont think it had much of an impact if any on the crossover. Between both the campaigns, they have made $105,454(KS $85,595 IGG $19,859) and both have about 30 days left. I guess they have already printed the books, because all the physical tiers had limits on them. Just going by their base tier which is $10 for just the hardcover crossover, all the IGG ones are sold out of the 246 books. This isnt counting the physical bundles or add-ons, but it looks like all the physical tiers on the IGG are sold out except for the $100 tier which there are only 5 left. On the Kickstarter, 1,032 of the 2,800 $10 books have been sold leaving 1768 left. The $45 and the $100 tiers are still available as well with 12 and 70 left respectively.
I think this is right, and would be pretty interesting to see. The only problem is I dont think we will be able to have hard data on how many book sold and how much money it will make because Doug doesnt use crowdfunding anymore.
Most people here have moved on from it. I think CG as a whole will move on too. I think the only time it will be brought up in the future is when Iconicgate lobs insults towards CG and @FROG.

Zack pretty much broke up with EVS a while ago, EVS just never wanted to face that fact. Honestly I think EVS truly thought he and Zack were friends, even after all the shit Zack has done. I kinda feel bad for @FROG, because he went to bat for Zack a lot. Also, its an awful feeling to find out that person you truly thought was your friend, through think and thin, doesnt really give a shit about you and pretty much thinks you are a clown.
I doubt it. Even the idiots of CG have pretty much understood that Zack hasnt cared about CG for a while, has actually changed his position on a lot of CG principals and actually done a lot of shit the that the mainstream did that were reasons behind why CG started in the first place. I think this current break-up between EVS and Zack is just the final nail in the coffin on the Zack and CG relationship.
