    This is really heartbreaking tbh, especially the part where you had plans on replaying the video of you guys moving in 10 years after for comparison.
    You haven't failed, you didn't go bankrupt, the idea/concept didn't fail....
    You literally had no control over anything and that's what's sad.
    But keep going guys! I honestly love the work you guys do, and so does everyone else.

    Thanks for continuing to push onward through this!
    The production value was definitely an easy highlight of the channel early on. But the team's drive and passion is clear in more than just aesthetic presentation.
    Thanks for telling these stories. Because of channels like yours, people are able to get a window into the lives and workings of those who helped make some of our favorite things.
    My journey of Wikipedia diving in my younger years only brought my attention to some of the biggest names in the industry. It was a good first step to humanize the creation of games and put faces and names to ideas. But also it was still mostly limited to a few big names with wiki pages. People like John Carmack, which as much as I admired the kind work he had done, I found it harder to directly relate to him (especially just from a wiki article). I'd imagine like having an interest in science and then reading Albert Einstein's page...
    The work you do helps break down the barriers between the commercial and public perception of games as a product and the real people who make them.
    The medium as a whole will be benefitted by your efforts for generations to come! Best of luck, and thanks again.

I know you'll get through this in the only way you know how- with bags of determination and integrity. It's why I and many others jumped at the chance to back you folks from the off. Good luck and we'll see you in better times soon.

    The opening of Prey is a _masterclass_ in storytelling and tutorialisation. I’m a huge fan of the Dishonored games, but Prey’s opening is better than the openings of all of the Dishonored games and DLCs combined.

    RE: Webcam interview quality
    Tip from a podcast guy (@AufwachenPod @friiyo). He sends microphones (with returns labels) to his interviewees with instructions. You could do the same. Buy ~2-3 microphones and used DSLR cameras (better than webcam) and mini stands to plug into the computer. With written instructions. And a return label. And some foam cutouts to protect it during shipping.

    Good luck and stay safe! Looking forward to all the new stuff - pandemic or no, you're the best in the business.
    Also great shout on the spoiler warning. For me, the way Prey started was worth the price of admission alone. I'd be so mad if someone ruined it for me to get them mad clickz. Appreciate the care you're taking when handling this stuff, it shows a real concern for the audience.

    Sad to hear, but will always support your channel no matter what happens. Unless I die, then its kind of hard to do it.

    Sorry to hear about the studio. Not that there's ever a good time for a pandemic, but it seemed to hit just as so many people were taking risks and getting things off the ground. But if you got there before, you'll definitely get there again! Loving the content.

    Turned on the captions. Laughed heartily at how Suda 51 was written. Yeah I mean, with a "name" like that, anyone would be confused.

    What an honest video. I appreciate this and hope the at home method works out
