Considering he self labeled himself green, i wonder if he keeps requesting Ross to be labled red out of spite

Is it just me or would Jason have to pay out of his ass for that? Or maybe he still lives with his parents?

Someone who knows more than me about Twitch.tv should chime in here, but my understanding is that he's (somehow...) one of the biggest streamers on the platform. This should easily make him a millionaire, at least. If you add in his Youtube income (where he's also weirdly popular), then I wouldn't be surprised if he's a multi-millionaire.
https://twitchtracker.com/piratesoftware
In the top 100 streamers on Twitch:
12k average viewers when he streams:
32k active subscriptions, which (I think) means he's earning around $80k per month just from that. Donations would be entirely separate.

So I decided to do a little math inspired by this number to discuss Jason's millionaire status.
tl;dr: Yes, he's a millionaire. He makes at least almost a quarter of a million dollars a year off of Twitch subscriptions alone after taxes.
Long explanation, complete with maths:
That 80k a month number is $960k a year. Let's say that Jason very generously only takes 1/3 of his Twitch cut because he uses the remaining $640,000 yearly to pay his moderators, fellow developers, whoever runs the ferret rescue, what have you. That's still $320,000 a year.
But that's before taxes.
Now, you could say he does self-employed taxes... but he doesn't. Pirate Software is a profit corporation based in Tacoma, Washington.
(Not archiveable due to how the Washington Department of Revenue website works, there's no actual URL to archive, it's all on the same "page", it's weird - but you can look it up yourself)
So this means he can hire himself and pay himself as an employee, meaning his taxes are maintained via form W-4, so no self-employment taxes to deal with, meaning we can look at it the rawdog wagie style.
He is an unmarried, childless and ultimately dependentless sodomite, he cannot exercise common law with his pooner girlfriend as Washington does not recognize common law marriages. This means he is filing single and not Head of Household.
We're going to apply the 2024 Standard Deduction and Tax Brackets for this, because this is what he will make this year, and as these go up each year, the overall rate and scale will match pace with Jason. And even then, using the most recent deductions and tax brackets are quite frankly conservative in his favor, this is how he gives the most to taxes without any tax credits or itemized deductions (he likely does both of these things, mind you, because why wouldn't you when you can?)
Here are the quick maths for it, I did it the long way just to make sure all math is shown, start from the bottom up because that's how Qalculate formats things, and you will see that the bare minimum from just Twitch subscriptions) is:
$226,746 a year. He would make his first million within 5 years (and he started his grift 6 years ago).
Remember. This is just Twitch subscriptions. So it does not include:
>Donations to his Twitch stream (Incalculable, but he's hit the 5 digit point on numerous "Hype Train" runs)
>Ko-fi (Minimum +$3096/yr)
>Purchases of his games (Ironically probably not much, at most he only made about $19k off of Heartbound itself lifetime, not including the Kickstarter which is another $19k)
>Direct donations to his website
>YouTube Adsense
>Donations to his YouTube stream
>YouTube Superchats
>YouTube Memberships
>Tax credits for the charity he runs, running a business, having DEI hires, etc
>Itemized deductions
>Merch sales
>His income from his job with Offbrand
>Sponsorships/affiliate links
>Twitch Bounties (These pay thousands at his channel's size)
>Investment interest from his prior income streams
>Royalties from the fact his voice is in World of Warcraft
This is the raw bare minimum from sitting in front of a webcam and writing shitty arrays for 12 hours a day.
Adding in all of those, you don't even need the hard numbers, you know he's a millionaire.
Why did I bother doing all of this math? Because I felt like it, and because I know once this goes public, Jason will come up with a funny response to pretend he's either not a millionaire or justify being one while parading himself as "down-to-earth" and familiar with the budgetary restraints of his audience. And I bet you at least one of his employees will be upset when they find out that odds are high he's taking a much larger cut from the Twitch subs.
Oh, and because it might help at least one dumb zoomer realize these people are all lolcows in ivory pens and cannot conceive of the lives their audiences live and will never provide actually good, sound advice to them because it's like a bird trying to teach a fish to fly.

Let's just do some simple math.
18hrs / 3hrs == 6 days that he's commuting.
168hr/15 (active) days == 11.2hr per day online and streaming (so far 14.2 hours a day used up when on stream)
18hrs x 14 days to commute == 36 hours + 1 day(3 hrs) == 39 hours total lost to commute for 15 active days
168 hours streaming + 39 hours commuting for two weeks == 207 hours total used up in 2 weeks (168hours in a week btw)
in 2 weeks time he's spent over an entire week streaming alone + 39 hours commuting.
giving him the benefit of the doubt Let's say he sleeps 4 or 5 hours. 4.5 hours x 14 days == 63 hours
63 hours sleeping, 39 hours commuting, and 168 hours streaming over a 2 week period.
That totals 270 hours over 2 weeks. There's only 336 hours in 2 weeks. 336 - 270 == 66 hours left in 2 weeks. 66 / 15 days == 4.4 hours per day left.
He averages around 4.4 hours a day off the computer/not streaming.
On average a person spends about 2 hours a day doing household activities (cleaning, laundry, home maintenance)
That's down to 2.4 hours of downtime a day. Not counting eating or bathroom/hygiene, or interacting with troon/furry partner.
I probably messed up the math somewhere, but idk maybe not. Also remember i gave him the benefit of the doubt of only sleeping 4.5hours a night.
Either he lying about something or his entire life revolves around streaming. What a pathetic existence. The money isn't worth it imo.

Alot of his posturing relies on being seen as wise and also relatable so i wouldnt be surprised if he pulled the commute out of his ass so the zoomer to millenial wagies who take his word as gospel found him more of a "one of us" instead of a Blizz nepobaby who is the top 1% of twitch by now

Yeah the second I saw this dude he smelt of leftie to me.
Shinigami and Ludwig kind of seal that deal for me. If you know the kind of people Ludwig hangs with they're all fucking commies.

This man cannot stop LARPing.
"Yes, I previously turned in an individual for deploying a stingray at the con. Yes, they were arrested for it."
Some guy shows up to DefCon with a $100,000 device and begins showing it off to people. Jason over-reacts and calls the police. Some 19 year old uniformed officer shows up and Jason cries that this device (used most often by law enforcement) might *somehow* blackhole 911 calls — despite the fact Cell Phone "Signal Boosters" are sold at every Best Buy in America and do the same thing. Then this officer, who can't even figure out his own e-mail, arrests this person on suspicion of tampering with 911 services.
Even if everything Jason said was true, I guarantee you this guy was never handcuffed, and was released immediately when they arrived at the station.
Also, fuck Jason for how vague that claim is in general. He's letting people imagine that he is somehow skilled and knowledgable in wireless communication, and he somehow detected and found someone operating a rogue cellular tower.

It isn't, the grand prize is being worshiped and having ass pats on you daily. Sotting on his ass doing whatever he wants while his fans say nice things and fawn over him has to be his dream job. He's a great programmer, and he doesn't even have to finish his game (which of course is a masterpiece already).

Look I'm not the best at designing stuff but I can tell you that Jason is every single guy that would literally sit there and talk your ear off going six hours about design and how to design things from a concept but if you tell them to sit down shut up and do actual work nothing is going to get done

If he gave a date and a year. You might be able to find a police report.
I don't think the officer could even arrest a person if he can't prove a crime is being committed. He might pull them aside and go "hey I need some ID. And I heard you're doing X what are you doing here?"

That's assuming it actually happened. I did find a clip where he talks about it, and the whole story sounds like a fanfic. Either that, or everyone involved is extremely retarded.

A challenge coin? From the FBI?
Isolated entirely in your collection for a report at a convention?
Yes!
May I see it?
No.

A lot of big streamers also belong to the same marketing/advertising/talent agencies owned by Disney or other megacorps. It wouldn't surprise me if he was as well. Paying 20% of your income to not have to deal with the public is a worthwhile investment to not have to worry about hiring mods or run half your channel output.
He also clearly bass boosts his audio either intentionally or unintentionally to sound better. You can do it by placing the mic closer to your mouth or use an EQ to actively do it.

I did not know these coins even existed so I had to do some easy research.
This page has some general information on the history and use of challenge coins.
It is a decent read. However, there is one paragraph that is interesting:
"In the military, challenge coins are often exchanged in casual challenges where one person presents a coin, and others are expected to produce their coins to avoid a penalty. This is not a common practice within the FBI. FBI challenge coins are presented with honor and respect during ceremonies, retirement parties, or other significant events. They are not typically carried on a daily basis and are more commonly displayed in an agent’s office or home as a reminder of their dedication to the FBI’s mission.

I always thought he's a centrist or neutral at best.
But him being a gay fag furry mupet kinda puts him in one category only.
