100K Subscribers in... less than 72 hours
What a crazy 72 hours it has been.
The Patreon numbers that are public aren't even accurate as most of our audience is on the free trial, so once we hit next Monday / Tuesday, we'll see the full extent of what we've all accomplished together in what has been the craziest 72 hours of pretty much all of our collective lives.
We'll do a full recap on Sunday most likely, but for now, we're just enjoying it.
Thank you.

I've watched Yahtzee and read Escapist stuff for about 10+ years now, so I'm glad to contribute even a small amount to everyone whose been part of my gaming life haha
Shut up and take my money! This is gonna be awesome.
I'm doing my part! for some good videogames journalism.
Cheers for the future, free from corporate overlords.
Is yahtzee flipping us off? Cool
Its been awhile since I've used Patreon but the second I heard what happened to all of you, I knew I would back whatever it is you ended up doing. The fact that Yahtzee went with you all is even better. I can not wait to see what this channel becomes. Great luck to you all!
Make that 100k +1 more! Love Yall
Not surprised at all. When passionate people get together to do something with their passion, people respond. You guys are awesome, you deserve all of the support!
We love you guys! Cheers to the future!
Excited for the new venture! Best of luck!
Someone tell me Yahtzee is along for this ride!
I should have read a little bit further down! Couldn't be happier to see him with you all. We immediately cancelled our membership with Escapist and you guys are getting all of it directly! Good luck! Can't wait to see what this becomes!
Looks like within a month you will have a gold plaque from YouTube
Here is to you guys!
You Guys, really desever the Support! You make a lot of the entertainment I enjoy on the internet and I'm really happy that this way I can support you guys!
Really happy to see you guys turning this around. All the best!
LFG
Hell yeah
You guys have helped me get through one of the toughest years of my life with your wealth of wonderful content always providing me with perfect escapism! Wishing you all well and the best of luck. I really hope this is the start of something even better for all of you and us!
If everyone pitches in one dollar per month, you'll all be flush with cash.
Cracked laid off its video staff, and now I'm on most of their podcast patreons. Collegehumor collapsed and out of the ashes came one of the best content services on the internet in Dropout. I came to escapist for ZP, but truly fell for Adventure is Nigh and can't wait to see what becomes of all my favorite people in that pic with this new endeavor
LET'S GOOOOOO
Woo! Feels like CollegeHumor leaving the mothership all over again. I probably won't hang around on Patreon long-term, but happy to throw in for a month or two now to help you guys get the plane off the ground. Here's to another decade of content 🍺
Cheers to you all.
Congratulations! I'm really looking forward to this
MAZAL TOV!
Hoping for continued success and that this catalyst and support allow you all to flourish. I'm a big fan of workers taking back power which you've clearly done. I'll be following along and look forward to updates. Be good to each other
So glad that the good folks behind the Escapist's video content will no longer be beholden to corporate overlords! Looking forward to seeing what the new setup will be like.
From what I was able to look up on Gamurs, you folks made the right call. They've been laying people off left and right and tried to replace them with A.I.
A crazy 72 hours doesn't even begin to describe it. @_@ This has been one heck of a week.
Now go get some rest! 💙
Congrats guys! Really shows the results of the efforts you’ve all put in
Congratulations! Now go to bed Big Daddy Nick
Congrats! Its awesome seeing such an outpouring. Now go to bed
Onward and upward!
The last few days must have been a whirlwind of emotions for all involved. Looking forward to what the future holds for Second Wind!
You guys are amazing! So happy to he here for the beginning of a new era!
Glad to finally support the creators I love directly. Keep it up, you beautiful bastards.
Love letting people create the content they actually want to create. Cheers!
Well deserved! 😊
Keep up the good work. We will be here!
Hell yeah, guys! Keep it up!
Glad to be here!
Congrats!
Congrats to the entire team on such an astonishing rise!
We’re enjoying it too! Can’t wait for the empire to build. Go to sleep Nick.
