Decision Reached (Patreon)

Thanks for your input on the question of potential future sponsored videos - and for the remarkable level of trust you've shown in my judgement. Having had a chance to read over all the comments, and discuss with Claire and others, I've decided I won't be taking up any offers for the foreseeable future - though there's a possibility you might see one particular game anyway at some point, just done for free.

By the way, the original post has now been removed as the question is now settled.

And though the vast majority of you have said you'd be content with a deal, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it, and in terms of the channel's ongoing health, a single one-off payment isn't worth the risk of annoying or alienating any part of this community to me, especially I have no intention of making these regular, so I'd be risking damaging the channel forever for one pay-cheque. That's not worth it to me - and not just in terms in money, but as this whole thing is very dear to me personally.

For now, as before, we are funded exclusively by Patreon and ad revenue, even if that is a slightly harsh road in January and February - we'll be fine like that, and we will remain absolutely squeaky clean, which I'm much happier being :)
