I'm sure the $100 super-chats Cridious used to dump on EVS had nothing to do with that, at least now we know where the backers money went.

Isn't he excommunicated from CG or something now anyways? Haven't thought of him in months myself.

Could never tell if his re.tarded little brother shtick was his true personality or a put on for CG pitybux. Guess I'll never know now. 🤔

He and Donal had a spat over ownership of Brutas. Donal’s mistake for not just making the damn book himself, but Nasser was being a little shit about it and threatening to sell his half of the rights.

Yeah it made Nasser look bad and he was being an asshole, but Stardust and Blood Reaper got fulfilled. Still haven’t seen any copies of Brutas out in the wild.

Actually, nothing. You would think it's good, but it's actually the problem. There is absolutely nothing going on with them, they buried their heads in the sand and looks like they are waiting for the hurricane to go away, they might think that if no one talk about them, everyone is going to forget about them, pretty good tactic, because i almost forgot about them too.

They are releasing a 24 page preview (basically the first act/comic of RR) which I'm sure is genuinely for the backers benefit, and not because its going to get printed and be on Walmarts shelves with the rest of the Allegiance titles in a month or two.

Seriously a dick move on Mitch's behalf, I was dumb enough to get one of those Order of the Dawn perks for like $200. A fool and his money are soon parted I guess.

I'm downloading it with 4K Video downloader now, though I stopped watching multiple hour CG streams over a year ago. I might try and chop out some of the more boring bits. I wish I could have got the chat, its getting pretty brutal.

Yeah, no. Nasser was disinvited from my channel when he showed a bunch of DMs from Jon Malin and made a video that talked about a private family matter of another CGer. The cherry in his twitter tag was just a creepy sidenote.

But did you show dms with quarter pounder? You could've done the stream with only him and Malin with you being the meditator, you didn't need Ro and others cosigning.

Okay, from what I understood both sides backed away. He wants to be the next Stephen King or whatever, and you viewed him as laughably bad.

Frog's hypocrisy is nothing new. But it wouldn't have helped. Jon Malin was done with him, YF from what I remember salted the earth, and Nasser is an evil dumbass with pride.

Could this be why comics is so messed up right now? Mitch and Betty are talented, sure. But being good at creative doesn't make you business savvy. Richard's a business man, an adult. Someone mentioned about starting a company. It would do no good if its run by creatives who don't have sense.

The Breits leveraged the success of their unfulfilled campaign to negotiate their deal with retailers. Information wasn't offered to the backers, which is understandable in the world of business, but unpleasant if you were one of the people they used.

If you want your bank or credit card to issue a chargeback for "undelivered goods," you have to do it within 120 days of the campaign's original fulfillment date. If a campaign is late and there are no updates, and they won't answer your requests for a refund, make a call before that deadline passes.

Everyone who supported cg books is are in denial sadly. So they wouldn't issue a charge back.

No, I didn't show DMs of The Quartering. I may have briefly quoted his monosyllabic responses to my questions to him in DM as a way of demonstrating that he was acting funny by attacking Doug TenNapel out of the blue. But I never displayed, showed or shared them. And none of it was of a confidential or private nature.

Believe it or not, The Quartering had nothing to talk about, and was trying to stir up a fight for YouTube views. He gave up and went after Keemstar instead.

I watched Quarter Pounders stream Ethan, he may be alot of things but his certainly not a fighter (a tranny already proved that). He correctly pointed out that google search results for Comicsgate were flat, backer numbers were down, less money was being made and your views and subscriber count was stagnant (which is probably why you hid your subscriber number on your channel).

There is clearly less interest in Comicsgate now, whether its from infighting, egos, poor quality products, year long delays in fulfillment or people just moving onto the next online fad (see Weeb Wars) the decline is obvious to kindergarten children who can do simple math.

6413 backers (Godking) is less than 10619 backers (Lost Souls).

Even an established IP like the Expendables has less backers at the moment compared to the first Iron Sights, unless just under a thousand new backers appear out of nowhere while its in demand, but the truth is The Expendables should have smashed Iron Sights numbers and probably should have beat Jawbreakers also. Even your Unfroggetable Tales the first Cyberfrog product that wasn't a variant cover of your original campaign is struggling at 1300.

This whole drama with Cridious certainly won't do CG any favors going forward either. This first official scam of Comicsgate, who was recommended and promoted on your livestreams. What do you think that will do for the next unknown small creator who appears on your show? To be perfectly honest I would have rather'd Preston buy Detective Dead off of him, what the hell should anyone be scared of? They would have got a product they had paid for, Cridious would have had his debts wiped and maybe enough cash left over to make his life easier. Whats the worst thing that would have happened? If Preston did do something with that customer information, his crowdfunding days would be over and his reputation would have been destroyed. Although if he did dox Ro, Pan Boy and the rest of your merry band of faggots, I certainly wouldn't have shed any tears for them. I'd piss myself laughing instead.

Preston runs the “Pocket Jacks Comics” channel. He is pretty autistic but his videos are very useful in keeping up with current events in CG. He also makes it a point to play actual clips of the drama he’s discussing so while he has a lot of bad takes, he does bring a lot of actual evidence to the table.

A word of warning, though. Your Testosterone levels WILL drop after viewing him for more than 5 minutes.

Also, he is exactly the kind of "fan" Zach warned about. Way too zealous at first, then starts to get upset he's not getting attention he thinks he deserves, finally morphing into blood enemy.

Eh, I don't think so. Richard's been a peach. Same with Jon Malin from what I hear. Frog was horrifically late and milked it. Good rule of thumb is look at their track record. If they haven't fulfilled a campaign probably good idea to hold off.

You don't stay! Who would do such a thing as stir up drama for web bucks?

Oh you. Seriously though, the main question remains. Is he a funny cow or a sad cow?

Preston is simply employing the Comicsgate model of building up a youtube and social media platform for his projects, with the irony of making his content about shitting on Comicsgate since they refused to help sell his WW2 coomer comic.

After reading those cringy tweets it could only be sad. I don't even hate the guy, Preston just reminds me of William Macy's character in Fargo. A sad sack that screws up everything he touches.

It is always funny to hear Cecil unload on him, too.

Sean has always been on the verge of being cancelled. People have softball tried for years. It's not a huge secret that he talks with Ya Boi and I think EVS. I remember a while ago one of them, I think it was EVS, had a screen share going and it showed private messages from Sean and they were talking about Zack. I believe Sean said something like "I haven't talked to him much since he deleted his Twitter." Sean has always been CG sympathetic.
