A Quick Word from Jones

Congratulations Allies, this was such a big succes. Wasn't able to donate during the stream (which was in the middle of the night where I live) but I just upped my pledge to support this wonderful growth.

well said sir.

This was wonderful to hear this from you Jones. I am really happy for guys, and hearing this really made my day. Kudos gentleman, and I am greatly looking forward to the future of Easy Allies.

I'm also a new subscriber and (it must be nice) I'm finally able to throw my support into the hat. I find myself enjoying different things that I hadn't previously because of your genuine approach. Particularly like your reviews, podcast and streams but I do dip in and out of the other stuff ( not WWE though, sorry guys!). I'm glad the timing of myself being able to donate coincided with the upsurge although it was always my plan to. Happy coincidence! L&R, keep up the excellent work!

I'm a new subscriber, hope many more will join us in supporting you. L&R.

L&R!

Love and Respect, allies.

I don't recall Ben ever mentioning it but Huber going to the optometrist has almost become a bit. He has mentioned several times he is reluctant to go. Good to hear he is finally going.

Great story. Welcome aboard! -Bloodworth

Easy Allies

I started only watching the reviews on gametrailers, and then saw easy allies reviews and then I thought I'd start checking out the podcast, then I thought, what is tabletop escapades? then I started really liking ben so I checked out frame trap, then I started watching group streams, then I started watching old final bosman then huber hype, then I started watching old E3 reaction videos, then I discovered FF7 Remake and Shemue 3 reactions. Then i saw this video. Now I'm a Patron. It was a long journey of discovery, but the more I saw of the easy allies, the more I fell in love with you guys. I'm a poor missionary, but I know every dollar helps. L&R, Kola

Did Ben and Huber mentioned before that they have eyesight problems before the stream? I couldn't recall.

I think the most important thing about the Allies is that they maintain their essence regardless of production value. If anything, the higher production value will only enhance what you love about that.

That’s exactly what we want and expect out of such professionals like your selves.

I am really happy for everyone, but to be absolutely honest: all that big, gushing talk of redefining expectations, bringing the company to the next level etc. makes me somewhat nervous. Personally, I really like the "indie charm" of EZA - and actually think that the somewhat edgy and rough, explicitly "not too perfect" vibe in many ways adds to what makes EZA so authentic and special. I understand the professional drive to make everything "better," I really do, and I understand that a studio would make many things much easier, but I am just not sure that shooting for that cleaner, more polished GT standards of production etc. is actually the most desirable way to go for this special thing ... Just my personal feeling after watching this video, though. I am confident you guys will take the right decisions (whatever direction they will lead us).

What a great day, so proud of everyone. 💜

One of the happiest jolliest streams I've seen in a long time and I'm still smiling thinking about it. So happy to have been a small part of it!

Hope this does not come off a spiteful. but the one thing that has really seemed off to me over the past few months is the Frame Logo and lowers for shows. I feel they are in need of a redesign, I feel each show should have a nice professional logo. if that means giving money to someone to design so be it. everything just seems to have a microsoft word type and submit feel to it so far.

I’m so happy for you guys. Y’all deserve every cent.

Brandon, I'm so happy for you all. :') An unbelievable night, totally insane. So much support. L&R to everyone who helped and all the Allies in general as well. Great things are ahead of us. Man, I'm happy.

Super-congratulations Allies. I honestly expected this to be a very low-key stream, maybe we'd get like $5000. It very quickly turned into the end of 'It's a Wonderful Life'. The incentives were all so amazing and Ian did a great job of updating the goals as you went. Keep being your charming selves and keep doing the things you believe in. And know how grateful I am that you would share so much of your lives with us.

Samuel Cardwell

I can't stop saying Congratulations! That stream was so amazing in so many ways. To see the Allies be able to continue to build and grow in new and exciting ways means EZA will only get better and better. But what I loved the most is what Mr. Jones says here: Taking a measured, educated, thoughtful, patient approach. This is such a big windfall, so in about two months, once E3 is behind us, THAT'S when things should get even more captivating.

Brandon K Gann

Grats EZA!!! So happy you guys did it!

Greasin' palms. ;-) Awesome news, for all of us.

Awesome! I appreciate it

I missed the stream last night, but man what great news! The Path to Greatness continues 🙌🏼

Been a $25 patron since day 1 but missed the stream. Is there a link?

Joe Rutski

Last night was a blast!!! I know you guys are in LA and probably have a great connection for equipment discounts, but if you're just ordering from B&amp;H or Adorama, I should be able to help a bit. I used to run a million dollar video production (before kids) for a lifecoach (eyeroll) and would buy all of our equipment from DveStore. We pretty much paid enough that I became friends with the owner and have kept in touch over the years. I know he gives volume discounts and would likely be able to give you guys a nice break if I point you his way. Once again, I'm just trying to help you guys out, as he doesn't need the money, so if you're paying list, let me know. L&amp;R.

Tyler Travis

Sorry I missed the event. Just went from $7 to $25 on Patreon Love y’all!

Daniel Dada

I'm just starting the archive now and it's so incredible that by the time you started playing the first game, you were so close to 4k. This community is awesome. 45 mins into the archive and you reach 6k.. the love is insane. The 1 hour mark you're at 8.6k, I'm tearing up dude. Edit: Just finished the stream, damn dude. This community.

POKEY CLYDE

They had a fundraiser to make their big E3 stream look more professional. They did a 9 hour continuous stream and had a maximum 10.6k goal for new equipment... they hit 31+k, so it was quite something

GW Fawkes

Ignorant question since I don't really follow the streams: what was the "big night" that happened?

Òscar V

We need to be patient as patreons and fans now. They are listening and implementing changes Jones, just wanted to say, again, that the work you guys do is very jolly and vital for my enjoyment in the medium. Keep it up

I love you guys! Lets get to 50k! At least 46k :)

I was a nay-sayer at first when they announced the event for many of the same reasons the community was BUT... I'm super happy for the EZA crew and really hope this boost gives you the push you need to move it up another notch. Seeing this response is really showing how much this community appreciates your efforts.

Zugdar

Today I've learned that these nine gentlemen with all their unique qualities resonates with a considerable part of the world as demonstrated through the generosity of this community and their willingness to support the endeavors of easy allies. The content really does matter to us all because without you we wouldn't be tied to a wonderful group of free spirited weirdos who just want to have a good time celebrating their love with videogames plus more. Honestly you all make this look very Easy ;P L&amp;R. Your steps to success matter to many.

Christian Thomas

I was more than happy to drop some money for the allies. You have given me so much great content over the years at GT and now EZA. It was just amazing amazing how much money you guys fundraised. Seeing your original goal get destroyed made me smile. This community is the best L&amp;R everyone.

Chun Lau

I know I'm not able to make a lot of streams because of timezone differences, but to see and listen to the work produced from the podcasts, reviews and the game sleuths is great. I also appreciate your honesty and it shows throughout. Hopefully this opportunity will work out for everyone involved with Easy Allies and good luck. Love &amp; Respect from England.

Anthony Stevens

congrats EZA! you deserve it! :D

Man, so bummed I couldn't make it to Tuesday's Stream! This will definitely be my weekend event while working! Congrats Jones and everybody! Can't wait to see the new things you guys bring! I've said this many times already, but my love and respect to what you guys do is just tremendous. You're one of the greats! All the best!

Could not watch it was studying for my masters degree, love you guys, keep up the good work!!!!!!!! Greetings from Spain :)

Beware of chargebacks. I really hope no one was trying to scam you guys. But be careful with that.

Definitely an incredible night! You guys deserve every bit of it! Love &amp; Respect
