About to clear $6000 at time of posting. Hopefully Mark will be able to keep this going full time. And hopefully all these pledges clear on the 1st of February. www.patreon.com/ClassicGameRoom

Holy cow! Didn't expect it to fund so quickly! At this rate, it'll be Mark's full time job again in no time.
Time to add an Undertow tier, amirite?
Can't help but wonder what this means for the old forum (and this new one)...

I've never followed a Patreon before so I'm not really how long it takes for new pledges to fizzle out. Still, full time is looking way more possible at $10k than I thought it would have.

Mark is doing very well compared to other YouTube patreons with a similar subscriber count. Check out Lazy Game Reviews' patreon for comparison.

I'm glad he's raking in the cheddar cheese. Most YouTube gaming related videos blows chunks and Mark is truly one of the few good ones out there. I'd donate if my life wasn't in such flux at the moment, but I'll gladly kick some bucks his way once things settle down.

I've been a fan of Classic Game Room since it was The Game Room and I've backed all his Kickstarters so it was only natural I supported the Patreon as well. Unfortunately I'm in the middle of purchasing a house so I'm only able to pledge $25 a month now, but as soon as I move in my house and finish the renovations I want to do (including my own game room!) I'll be pledging more.
Take care guys and keep on being a badass Mark!

Seems to be slowing down now, $10million might require a good push. I wonder what this really might be at as I wouldn't be surprised if after a month or two many lower their $50+ pledges.

Yeah, that's sort of the thing. We're at 8K right now, but every Patreon seems to have some payments that don't go through, and a drop off after the first few months.

What would be tragic is if Mark clears 10k and starts doing CGR full time, only for a bunch of backers to fall off. I mean, I'm sure he knows what he's doing, but I don't want to see him screw himself over.

I am worried about "R-zone Fanboy Mark Clone" running off with the money. You can't trust that guy.
