Talk about unloyal fans. The guys making a movie, and those 80'000 couldn't have patience..

I have always been loyal and don't plan to unsubbing ever.

Unloyal? There were plenty of people didn't support the AVGN's e-begging you know. Then the quality of content went down. The number was dropping slowly but everytime a video was pulled, the subscriber loss went up.

Again I wish I had saved these numbers. This is the website you use to check a channels subscriber loss/gain: http://socialblade.com/youtube/

e-begging? He's not paid for this you know, he's doing it to a mostly free audience.

Either way, it's like marriage, you should still stick with something you like, even through the rough times. I for one will remain patient and will see this movie when it's released.

I love Sonic the Hedgehog ！

Why he did not introduce it？

X—Men and chuck rock is shit

The video may be bad, but that's one kick-ass mod.

e-begging?

He had a fundraiser for his movie, far surpassing his goal which people didn't like. Many didn't understand it because they figured James already had enough money to fund the project himself based on what he makes on the Youtube channel and Screwattack. I don't know how much Screwattack pays, but it's rumored to be pretty low. And I doubt all of his Youtube videos are monetized (or are able to be). Still, I imagine he's making anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 per month from Youtube. Some of that he must give to Mike and also that guy in the fedora. Don't trust Socialblade's stats. I do know that James does not have a regular job.

Not getting paid? He's making a fortune!

He gets money from:
-Ads and commercials played on his Youtube videos.
-The pre-roll commercials on his blip videos.
-Gets money from GameTrailers just for keeping the new content exclusive to them.
-He gets a percentage of his merchandise sold at the Screwattack store.
-He gets money for making content on Spike TV.
-He also would make money from the ads on his website Cinemassacre.com.
-He would also get paid to be in other peoples videos. (like the Cheetahmen 2 episode GameTrailers made)

He's not doing this for free, he's banking a fortune. And to think he actually begged people for money.

I for one will remain patient and will see this movie when it's released.

I think it's going to suck. He's said it's going to be similar to the Rob and Bugs Bunny reviews. Both of which had poor acting, unfunny jokes, uninformative reviewing, and went on too long. Now he wants to make a 90 or so minute movie of all that. I'll probably end up seeing it too, but only when someone puts it online.

[playgen]

I think some people just get jealous that he is able to make a living from doing online video reviews. Well I say good luck to him, whether you like his style or not he puts a level of effort in that surpasses what pretty much everyone else does.

Do you honestly think he's getting paid enough to drop everything in his life and make a movie? He has to pay for his house, car, bills, insurance, food, etc. I have no idea what production costs are, but he would have to pay his cast, an editor, for sound/music, travel costs, equipment costs.. and so on. While making the movie he wouldn't have time for a job or side projects like making videos for gametrailers or spike tv.

I don't understand why people are so negative about his movie. He gets to fulfill his life long dream and people donated in support of him. You don't have to be jealous about it.

[Obviously]

He's no doubt making enough to live on but a fortune is pushing it.

Also he asked for donations and people who supported his project gave them, he hardly had to beg and nobody was forced at gunpoint to give him a cent. It's not like he took your money or something.

It's great he does what he likes for a living and is happy about it. I like his older reviews. I think when his show had a small budget it was best. And let's not pull the jealousy card. The only jealous one I can think of is a certain gamer who gets irate.

Do you honestly think he's getting paid enough to drop everything in his life and make a movie?

Yes I do. Just the advertising on his youtube account alone nets him a minimum of $200 a day! Then he has all those other sources of income I mentioned. I also forgot he had a donate button on his Cinemassacre page way before he started the donation drive. You know I wonder if people who donated through the donate button even got the perks from his indiegogo drive. Probably not.

He has to pay for his house, car, bills, insurance, food, etc. I have no idea what production costs are, but he would have to pay his cast, an editor, for sound/music, travel costs, equipment costs.. and so on.

Yes, but if he actually saved his money and carried on making episodes for another year or so, he would be able to fund the movie himself.

While making the movie he wouldn't have time for a job or side projects like making videos for gametrailers or spike tv.

He still gets paid for the advertising and what he already has up. Besides, a lot of his Spike TV reviews are short. He could shoot 10 of them in a day.

I don't understand why people are so negative about his movie. He gets to fulfill his life long dream and people donated in support of him. You don't have to be jealous about it.

You know there's way more people positive about it. He could have fulfilled his life long dream, and had the satisfaction of doing it all himself. And seriously? Jealous? Come on, that's what you say when you have little to argue. I would never be jealous of any e-begger.

He's no doubt making enough to live on but a fortune is pushing it.

Alright saying a fortune is pushing it as I don't know the exact amount. But he certainly makes more then enough to live on. He could easily have funded this movie himself over a year or so.

Hardly begged? He talked about in several videos. And you're right. Some of his fans were stupid enough to give him $1K. He didn't take my money, but the thought he begged over $300K off his fans really bothers me. But maybe he'll make his movie available for free online just as a gift to the fans. I would have a lot more respect for him if he did.

[Kamahl]

Yup, definitely jealousy.
1. He doesn't make nearly as much money as you think he does.
2. He asked for money, he didn't demand it. He got a lot more than he needed, he used it to make a more expensive (and hopefully better) movie.
3. The donation box on his website has always been there, if people just want to give him a little thanks that's what it's for. If they were stupid enough to use it to help fund the movie without the perks, it's their problem.
4. This is no different from a kickstarter project. Why should he fund the movie out of his own pocket if he can get investors? Are you saying Tim Shaffer begged people for money to make his new PnC adventure game? Pretty sure Tim Shaffer makes has way more money than the freaking nerd.

Arguing with Fanboys is pointless.

1. I've already proved he makes a lot. We will hopefully find out later how much was spent on the movie and how much was pocketed.
2. I didn't say he demanded it. But that's not the point, you shouldn't ask your fans for money anyway.
3. I meant people who used the donate before the indiegogo page was there. And now you're calling them dumb?
4. You're right! Why fund it himself when he has dumb fans. And I don't feel like googling Tim Shaffer so I'll leave it at that.

And I don't feel like googling Tim Shaffer so I'll leave it at that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Schafer
Asked for $400,000, got $3.45 million from more than 87000 people.
Why? Because getting a publisher for a PnC adventure game is apparently difficult.
The creator of the Shadowrun board game did the same to be able to get his RPG Shadowrun videogame made.

I meant people who used the donate before the indiegogo page was there. And now you're calling them dumb?

No, I'm calling anyone who used it after he created the indiegogo project dumb. They knew damn well where their money was going.

[Obviously]

And I don't feel like googling Tim Shaffer so I'll leave it at that.

If you think what James Rolfe has done is bad you'll want to stage a public lynching of Tim Shaffer.

With his donated $3.45 million budget he showed fans a game that looked like something off of Newgrounds.com.
