Is that true? Does he have a 9to5? My impression from the book was that he's making it happen with the shirts and book sales. Me too. He still has more than 600 people on Patreon, so I think he still has enough revenue to keep CGR as his only job (always considering also whatever he is getting from Amazon Prime, books, t-shirts and the occasional Kickstarter campaign). He has said a few times that Prime and the books were more successful than he expected and we know his Kickstarted campaigns did well, so it's possible that CGR in general is still turning a profit. He could possibly be getting by, but I just don't know. His Patreon shrunk, and not many people talk about his Amazon videos (which are fun!). I don't think you can see Amazon's analytics, but maybe he is doing well. I do know that he has a lot of skills in the world of editing, and Inecom seems to be a solid company in and of itself. I just worry about the man, that's all... |

Hopefully, he's using those solar panels he bought. Jeez, I don't even know what happened to Mark. Does he use a platform currently to share his work? He is on Amazon Prime. I like the episodes. They are much longer than the old ones. He has to have another job now, though. There is no way that this is paying for the electric bill. |

Dan E. Kool - Haha, yeah man, that's a lot of business initiatives. I completely lost track of how many CGR products there are out there some time ago: I've settled down for just Patreon and the occasional Kickstarter - if it's something along the lines of the "Best of" or the MUSHA features. I don't intend to go for the books, comics and other things as there are just too many of them.

Definitely not me. I've never participated in the whole online crowdfunding thing with donations, merchandise and paywalls etc.

I have all his Kickstarter products and most of his books. Great stuff, a lot of it. |

Which books are you missing? All that were released after Ultra Massive Guide vol 2. I just haven't felt the need to buy any yet, but I'll probably buy the comic and video related ones. Don't care about those lame caption books or history books. |

You may as well finish the entire collection. It is not a big deal after all, specially considering everything you already have.

Wouldn't have been me. I have the 'Rise and Fall' and 'Best of' physical releases, but for the other kickstarter projects, I opted for digital only. Also only picked up the free book. I don't really have much interest in the publishing side, even if he's made some really nice looking coffee table books
