Considering Our Options And We Need Your Input...

yup, definitely, I love your channel and all, and supporting you guys is a big bonus, but I definitely signed up specifically for the early access

Elitepic

I'm medically retired from the US military and i'm on a fixed income. SO unfortunately that leaves little to no free money in the budget, but what i do have I've decided to start pledging to you guys and a couple of my other favorite youtubers. It may not be much but it's all i can give, and I have no regrets in it. You guys are amazing at what you do and regardless of whatever is out there, I'll keep pledging as I can because in my opinion you guys deserve it. Wish i could do better but its all i have. So keep on ding what you guys do, because it really helps at times when dealing with everything. I hope you guys can make it to your goals.

David Atkins

I just started watching your videos and they are golden! I'm happy to say I pledge my amount to you guys not just for the video access but so you guys can rise out there. And yeah I hope to have early access to the videos. <_<

Lxs Mnz

The quality content you guys put out is worth money. I don't pledge to see episodes early, but instead because your videos make me laugh and make my day better. So I want to give you my support because likes, favorites, and kind words in a comment section wouldn't do you enough justice.

Josh Kralewski

Getting the video early is great and all but to be honest I don't mind. More than anything I joined patron to support your guys and possibly get a few more updates and bloopers if they were to ever be released. :D

Daku

As with others, I'm pledging simply because your content makes me laugh. There is so much pressure and bad in the world that something like what you create is, to me, utterly priceless. I just wish I could give more. If you find a way to cut off the freetards who can't just wait a week or two without trying to self-destructively ruin the creators of the content they are trying so hard to promote, then you'd have my appreciation. But don't break yourselves over it, because all I really care about is that you continue to create sparks of light in the darkness.

John O'Grady

I know the struggle of having a job that makes your day bad and stressful, what y'all do is your passion and even though its early access i am still paying due to the fact the cost of living is getting worse and I enjoy the content y'all put out this goes to help y'alls dream come to life

Charles N Rutledge

The early access is nice, but I'm pledging primarily because I enjoy your content so much. As an actor I know how much it means to have financial support for your work, so I'm happy to help in the (very small) way that I can!

Daily Bread

Full time swe means faster content. Therefore I will make the astounding donation of $1 a month regardless of the early release or lack thereof. Speaking of, I can't find episode eight. Did I just overdose on stupid pills this morning or is it just not up?

Samuel Bolding

Just helping out is enough for me, I don't really need the perks they are just there, a little bonus but not necessary.

Rhys Rogers

I'm pledging to get you guys to make enough money to be able to make these full time. Thats all I care about lol. Sadly being poor, can't contribute much

Erik Jasper

I pledge mostly for keeping the show at the amazing level of quality that it is now, however, in my decision to donate, I was definitely persuaded by that fact that I could see episodes early.

I pledged solely to support the content SWE produces. Regardless of the perks I will still continue to support your work just because of the high quality of content you produce. Thank you very much for the amazing entertainment.

Valentine

I really dont like to put you guys out like this. But i mainly pledged for the early access. It seemed appealing to me the most. Ive waited a long time for this episode so to see it even earlier was an immediate sale to me. If you guys continue to back up the frequency of production then i can easily say my actual intentions can be swayed in another direction. For the moment im just pledging for the early access and to hope you guys hold true to the increased productivity.

DG Servers

I pledge to so you guys can make more faster for all, not just me. I will continue my support even if you remove the 2 week promo.

Robby Olson

I pledge because I saw something in you guys that I didn't see in those other parody groups. Dedication and passion. those qualities really put ahead what really smart and hilarious people do on the internet to not only take our minds off the reality we live in but to enjoy the comedy that comes with it. Furthermore, (I'm trying to remember why people use furthermore. Maybe that word can be used in the next episode.) I believe dismissing the two weeks privilege is a good business idea and the fans will understand. making it exclusive on Twitch two weeks early is better. If you can find a way to make Patreon accounts connections easy with twitch accounts then people will love to translate towards the video. Better marketing idea as well. Hopefully you guys keep getting that work in. Really enjoy your efforts guys.

Victor Monjaras

honestly, i'm supporting because you guys are hilarious and i want to see you do other things. other shows, abridged games, maybe even original content?

Zachary

I'm supporting you so the shows won't stop. Being in the '1st' group doesn't bother me just as long as you keep going.

Seal

I'm pledging because, especially as of episode 8, I think you guys are the best... abridgers? abridged series makers? well, i think you guys are the best at what you do.

Icefire

Supporting you guys would be well worth it even if you didn't have perks. I mean, if we are able to support you then you can rid yourselves of the BS day jobs and focus on what your talented at. If your able to focus on SWE then we get videos sooner which is still a win. It would be awesome to get to a point were you can do monthly or by-monthly releases but I'm sure that is difficult as hell.

Gage Landry

I think anything is ok really. :) I mean, I could mention a number of other fortunate creators who've gotten hundreds of dollars a month for nothing while recovering their focus meters. ;)

Johnysc

I'm pledging because I want to encourage you guys. Early access is fun and all, but I can do without. Especially if it means doing away with SWE Free and the likes.

Dusk Wolf

Personally, I just pledged to support you guys and the high quality of your content. As others have already said, the early access is nice but we could live without it (or a shorter time frame e.g 1 day). What matters is that you have the chance to make more videos -- not wether I can watch them earlier or not. Keep up the great work! ^^

I think the best course of action would be to release information for streams on patreon and show us new episodes one day early. During this, you could also answer questions by the chat like last time. But for me, it all comes down to just getting to see the episode, i don't really care if it is public or not.

Conn Hess

As long as you keep on making quality videos, I will also continue to pledge.

William Boyd

I'll be honest and admit that initially I pledged to get the early access, but if you drop the two week early access I won't stop pledging. I just love the work you guys do.

Dexter Kraeppis

I love you for that what you do. Early accsess is nice, but not importent to me. Just drop it and keep on making more awesome stuff.

TheNaga

In my opinion you could just remove the early acess, i don't like the idea that people who don't support get to wait 2 weeks. I support you because i want to help you keep making awesome stuff, i'll keep supporting even with no perks.

Orestes Mesquita Kunze Bastos

So long as you guy's keep the series I see no problem with dropping the 2 weeks early thing. I mean when i first pledge I did it because of 2 weeks early perk but that was because I was sooooooo eager to see the next episode. Other than that nope no problems just take my money and continue the awesome work. :)

Grimm

I'm so glad you got that out of your system.

LazyNinja

To be honest the early access is nice, but it is not the reason why I am supporting you guys. I enjoy your videos and I don't mind waiting for the actual release date as long as you are passionate with making SAO Abridged and other stuff.

Cody Luhmann

The early access is a nice perk and I do appreciate it, but it isn't a deal breaker in my pledge. My take on the matter would be to offer up clips in advance of the episode. Its not a heavy loss if people see it for free but its still pleasant for contributors.

Joe Burk

I live being able to watch the video early, but I love what you guys do and I want to make sure you keep doing it

Benjamin Brantely Rains

If there is a need for rewards to capture some extra donations you could do other things that aren't so pirateable: shirts, artwork, etc. I'm not actually sure if either of you are graphic artists, but something along those lines would be nice for those people that need that "extra something".

pm

You have my pledge because I want you to continue to make a show better than the original. I want to see the videos ASAP. When others see them is of no concern to me. You have my support even if you drop the two weeks.

jcoolpepper

Honestly when I pledged I thought it was a day early release, so that 1 day is not the reason I pledged. You have taken a show I loved and recreated that same experience in a whole new way. You managed to both let me return to the world of SAO while discovering a new one. Perk or no perk I support you guys.

X

I pledged so that I could support your videos; I just want to give something back for all of your hard work. Early access was a nice little bonus, but nothing more :D

Shepard Gault

My true honest opinion is we can live without it. I pledge 4 dollars a month to see you awesome webcasts. All of it is just truly hilarious and uplifting

Xavier Ross

I pledged simply to support, the early access is only a perk to me.

Christopher Murphy

Early access is only a perk. I donate to your team because I want to see what you can create. Early access can be replaced or dropped simply by you telling us the episode is done. Just as long as you keep making content I'll support y'all, early access or not.

Aetos the Ronin

I admit to wanting early access but that's not all. I pledge to you because I loved your work ever since i saw it and was upset that how long i had to wait for new episode of SAO abridged. When you came out about having patreon , i quickly build a account just to sign up for you guys because I wanted you to quickly spread the joy you gave me with your videos. Sadly i can only pledge a dollar because of financial issues. I will continue to pledge to you without the perks as long as you keep spreading the comedy to the world and me. I don't care what you have to do as long as you don't stop till you reach the end. ^w^ To restate it, "Shut up and take my money!!" Please x3

Nate Fang

I pledged merely just to support you besides I get to see posts others can't see.

Jack glanvill

To answer your question, I pledged exactly zero point zero zero dollars for early access. I know that I only give you 1 $ but I would like to give more, not just for early access, but because I like your work and want to give you a fair payment for my entertainment. We live in capitalism after all.

KnightmareAlpha

As a higher pledger myself, I have absolutely no ill will towards the subject. A person that donates fifty dollars or more when they can easily get the same access for only one dollar wouldn't change their mind because they are losing that function. It's more likely a $1 Donator would be unhappy before the 21 of us!

Jaimon Cuna

I won't say I pledged to get them two weeks early; I pledged because I wanted them quicker, if that makes sense. If you guys could devote more time to doing SWE abridged, then that means it wouldn't take six months, eight months, etc.. to produce an episode. That's why I personally did it.

De'Sean Markley

I saw the option for scripts, and I was excited for that. The early release was just an added bonus.

Devin Costa

I pledged after seeing episode 08 today, though in honesty I did put the money in to be able to get the content 2 weeks early, and also to support you, but I'm happy to continue with my small payment even without the reward. Not sure how higher pleaders are going to feel however.

mynamajeff

I pledged originally for the early access, but I don't plan on withdrawing it, set aside 2 years worth of pledges for you so that's that ^^

Cen

I just want to support you guys cause you're awesome. Perks are nice but not necessary.

AnimeJunkie

I'll keep my pledge regardless, you guys deserve it.

Michael Trotter

By the way... You guys think it might have been Jacob Irby that did SWE Free? Seems likely from that big speal that happened when making the 1$ donation option.

Jaimon Cuna

And post 250 says: I dropped fifty dollars the moment I was able to find the Patreon for you guys. You're a group that so far is very open with your fan base. You guys ask us first before making big decisions. I find the perks outside of the two weeks were more than enough. Actually, just seeing the number of patrons and the amount left to reach your goal was enough for me! As you guys grow bigger, don't lose sight of your fans and keep up the good work!

Jaimon Cuna

I'm going to echo what's already been said: I'm here to support good art, not necessarily for perks. Perks are just, well, perks; They're nice to have as a "Thank You for Your Support" from the creators, but they don't make or break my donation. Honestly I was surprised that there _were_ perks like that when I signed up, I just saw your name on Patreon and I wanted to give back to the people who'd created the works I've been fans of for so long.

pm

actually it was 3 months before and it was 3 months now... but of course a good time of that was used to manage and create patreon

erdelf

IMO, maybe 2 weeks is a little excesive. Maybe do something like the Hunger Games is doing, and do like a "Pre-screening" 24 hours before you actually release it for us. That way, it gives you the ability to at least give soemthing to the people who donate, while at the same time give the rest of your subscribers what they want in 24 hours. I'm sure people can wait that long... after all, it's only one day.

Kyle Landau

Just do your thing, fellas. Before you guys were set up on patreon, months went by between episodes. This time, it's what? A month or so? I feel like we are still getting the episodes earlier than ever.

LazyNinja

The early release was a nice perk, but I'd still donate regardless. I truly just enjoy your abridged series and want the hard work you've been putting into them to continue. It's not often i enjoy the abridged series of a show more than the original, but your series destroys the original SAO in my opinion. Keep up the great work guys, I'll support whatever choice you have to make in order to solve this issue.

Dunkatz

I'd still donate to the Kirito is Always Right Foundation if the 2-weeks-early perk no longer existed because you guys just produce high quality content. I actually support giving equal access to episodes because it's no skin off my back if more people get to see your awesome content the same time as me! I think that it's very apparent that the vast majority of us (if not all?) are supporting you because of your own merit, not just because we get the videos on time. I know you'll make the right decision for yourselves, but hopefully seeing all of us vocally announce that we support YOU for YOU will make that decision a bit easier. :)

Gabby

Back then was about half year between episodes, and even then I wanted to donate. Two weeks means nothing and I thought early access - bad idea from beginning. Cause it's not early access for ones who pay, it's later access for ones who not.

musehunter

to be perfectly honest i didnt even know that was part of the reward i just donated to see blog posts and updates

Steven Taylor

On a happier note, how's episode 9s script coming along?

Alex

Originally I donated for the purpose of getting the episodes 2 weeks early. But even with the perk gone I will continue to donate.

Crit Jones

I like the perk of getting it 2 weeks early but im donating to you guys because i really like Sao abridged and i think that u guys are great. So find another way or dont because i will still pledge no matter what

Tyler Musgrove

Personnally while I originally started donating for the perk offered, I'd actually be really happy to keep supporting you if that perk went away. However if it was me running this, if I were to remove the 2-week early access page, I'd think of some other perks to offer at the lowest tier, maybe something like audio outtakes or even exclusive shorts (Less than a minute) around SAO Abridged.

elmagio

I'm supporting you guys for early access as well. I'm willing to keep supporting even if I'm not getting early access. Something you guys may want to look at is the rooster teeth way of releasing videos. It might work better to have a day of early access and maybe have the video on your own website making it harder to take the video.

Jacob A Arnold

I'll be honest, I'm supporting you all for the early access. Honestly though you guys do remove that perk I'd still support you guys.It's just if I fall on harder times it will be harder to justify my support.

Jackson Palmour

I support you guys because you do a good job at what you've been doing. I don't care about any perks.

Zwack

SAO Abridged is your bastard creation and no one has the right to take it from you. Admittedly, I am one of those scumbags who, on occasion, watch shit online illegally - mostly because I am incapable of waiting 24 hours to a week for an episode that's already aired in the USA/UK to reach my pitiful country. But. People who spend their time and effort creating something to entertain the masses should be compensated for it. So I may have pledged to gain access to your awesome videos two weeks early, but I'm not planning to take that pledge away if you change the perks. In fact, YouTube is more accessible to me than Patreon is, video-wise, since I use my phone more often than not. You'd be doing me a favour. Keep on Keeping on, you beautiful sonsabitches. Also, John O’Grady? I talk in movies. And I like it. :D

rebecca ward

+13412354, which is to say that the perks didn't mean much to me anyway. These a**holes that ruin something like you trying to give an early release to your supporters should go to the special hell - the one with child molesters and people that talk during the movie in theaters. Tell you what. Someday just give out a limited edition T-Shirt to everyone that has supported you over a certain period of time or something, if you can do it cheaply enough to not affect your funding. And if not, I'll support you anyway. Your content is hilarious and unfortunately worth more than I can give monetarily, but I hope my thanks makes up the difference.

John O'Grady

I ended up supporting your Patreon because you are a good batch of people that put out great quality videos. I wanted to chip in, even if it is a little ammount each month, to show appreciation of what you do. It is nice to see your videos two weeks in advance, but, that just makes the gap until your next video comes out even longer :P... So, I say as long as you all are keeping us up to date with how progress on videos are coming, I could live without the two weeks in advance deal. You all just keep kicking ass, my friends and I love what you do.

Nathaniel Hansen

I enjoy your show and patreoned and wanted to support you guys so you would continue making more. The early access was a very nice bonus but wasn't a determining factor in donating money.

aej

I for my part chose to support you because you're doing an AMAZING job in crafting this series and totally deserve the money. I don't care about early access since I prefer to watch the episodes with my friendes anyway. My only plea to you is to keep it as awesome as its been so far.

Diceycle

I joined after you guys released it on the first date to both your supporters and non-supporters. Even if you drop the early access, I'll continue to support because I love this series.

Shane Magada

I'd continue to support even if you dropped the early access. In the beginning, it was a debate with the early access winning me over, but with the awesome quality of the episodes that continue to get more awesome each release, I'd happily continue to support you. Hell, as soon as I get more cash, I'm definitely thinking of upping my pledge anyway. Great job with the hard work guys, you've earned my future support :D

TailoftheDevil

To be honest, the early access convinced me to support you on Patreon. I, however, will not stop supporting you just because you cancel that option. The thing is, I love your abridged series so much I'd rather spend a dollar a month than to wait for two weeks. However, temporarily the early access is sort of a reward for the people who support you and that is really nice. But for me, the real reward is seeing the episode finished and I honestly don't care if this is Patreon only or public access from the beginning. But in your own interest I'd reconsider it, because I think less people, especially new fans to the series, will even consider to support you or learn of the possibility. I personally wouldn't have found this supportive plattform if it hadn't been for the people telling me, the episodes can be watched early here. But do it as you want to, as long as the quality maintains so persistent, you will always have my support :)

RubinNischara

Here just to show my support. dont care about early access.

Ataberk Telli

To be honest: The early access convinced me to pledge, but I don't mind if you decide to release the show earlier. I am going to stay a patreon, because I love your work :)

Tomas

btw on another note i recommend a side show call "Piece of Schmidt Games" just an idea I'd like you guys to thing of :P

Lol2skaters

sounds tough to really say i originally donated for the early access however now i feel that the support your getting is more important this is something left up to you guys what youd like to do but my only recommendation is not to let the actions of one or few affect what you really care about and thats making hilarious videos keep doing what your doing guys have a great day LOVE YALL!!! :D

Lol2skaters

I will continually support with $1 a month because I love what you guys do. I do enjoy the early access perks tbh.

Jacob Davis

Originally was a high payer for your Patreon without need of two weeks early excess. Now, I am just a $1 patreon that is just wanting to not miss the early release.

Gunmetal Gator

Early access made sure, I would support you. I'd probably continue supporting even without early access.

Skripion

It definitely started out as early access, but I'm still going to keep supporting the project.

Kevin Brown

Not here for any perks.

Chris MacLeod

I'm here to see you guys do well, regardless of the perk I'll see the next episode anyway. :)

Sora Tetra

I gotta be honest, I'm here for the early access. But I understand your situation.

Dionysia

I really really like the early access. In fact, it's what I started supporting for, but if it was dropped, I'd still support. Please do what you can to keep it up if possible, though. If not, oh well.

Kina

If we can find a system that'd work well, I'd love to still have early access, but I wouldn't be devastated if it wasn't there.

Jiggz

I'm with Craig Watson. We pledge to help support you so that you can continue to entertain us. I have other patrons that I pledge money to. They receive that money for the same reason. You may need a reason to draw some people in. Some will come for certain things. Not everyone will tell you what it is.

Stuart Chapman

I honestly don't mind about the perks, right now I'm a patreon because honestly, you guys deserve it.

Craig Watson

As I really enjoy your videos my main reason for pledging money was to get early access to the videos. I will be more than happy to help you brainstorm to find an alternative way to get us the videos early without the video getting copies and posted by somebody else

Kirk Patience

First I want to say, the video has been removed by the user apparently. Either it got taken off or he saw that it was actually harming both fans and the creators in a way. If that's the case then I respect him for stopping it. Also I really like the benefit of seeing the episodes earlier and think it's like 50% why I pledged. And for the hug and script and stuff as well. And the other 50% to support you guys and help you work on it without having to do a job you don't like along with it (In yamato's case). Which in return makes the episodes finish a bit faster while keeping the same, if not better quality. Thus in a way benefiting everyone. But I personally wouldn't stop pledging if it got taken away. But maybe I wouldn't have been drawn to check the patreon out initially. I think like some others said too. Most of your supporters would stay. But I think you'll miss out on some future new supporters maybe.

Boemchak

At 1st i pledged only to see the episodes early but by this point i will support u guys whether i get something out of it or not since ur content is amazing and is definitely among the best videos I've ever seen on youtube

Rkraiem100

even thought that i just join this i really like your work. and to be honest i really do not care if i see the early access or not. just keep doing what you do. :)

I support you regardless of any perks. If there has to be a reward cuz people demand one it could still be the script release or outtakes or something like that. However I keep the pledge cuz I like you guys. Dont give up. I stand with you. I trust you.

RavenThePoet

Support you as I love your content, not for the early access. Something we can all live without

James Harper

just put it out as long as you keep making them i'm happy.

Ian Mcleod

Happy to support you guys no matter what but would like to make that guy stealing your vids choke on my vengeance !!!!

Carlos Henao

I love what you all do and support you guys in your endeavors although it's really awesome to see the vids 2 weeks early feels like I'm a VIP

to clarify i only wanted early so i could see it when it was made not so i could be better than anyone and i plan to continue supporting you no matter what you do with the early access because this series is amazing.

Blake Topham

Blake Topham

I pledge to support the content I like, the fact we got the episodes 2 weeks before being publicly posted was just a bonus.

Ond Tyrann

I'm just a fan of your work and wanting to encourage you to make more, as well as make it easier to make more.

Christopher Martin

I'm only tipping to say thank you. I don't expect anything in return :)

Will Harmon

I started pledging to get the episode as soon as possible, though i do enjoy supporting you wonderfully talented people. If you were to get rid of the early access, which seems to be the only way around the SWE FREE guy, i would still pledge what i can.

Genbu

I was pledging before early access was cool

kyle meyer

I pledged before even knowing there was early access. I don't mind waiting at all. Keep up the good work.

nero9112

i just have to say that i did initially pledge so i could get early access. however after looking at your goals and how you guys treat your patrons, i gained a new appreciation, and i can honestly say that the only reason i am not pledging more money for you guys is because i don't have it. you guys are immensely talented and deserve to be treated better than to have your stuff ripped off and put on youtube without your consent. i love your work, and i'm sure i'm not the only one that is supporting you guys. whatever you decide to do know that i will be behind you all the way.

jared lance

I pledge so you guys can keep put more focusing on putting out great content. I have greatly enjoyed your work and this is a way to show that.

Skelethin

I pledge so that you guys can focus on putting out a great product. I love your work will continue to pledge regardless. On the business side of things the early viewing is a great incentive for people to contribute and to help you guys out financially. I see no point in stopping it just cuz some guy doesn't agree with your marketing.

Tyler Simms

Hmm, they should really have some sort of polling system. Anyways, I pledged so that more videos would be made, no particular preference as to the time. You can't rush perfection. Release the videos whenever you need to :D

I just learned of your Patreon after watching episode 8. It'd be nice to see them early because I really do enjoy this series. Its so well written and funny and I have a blast watching every episode. So while it would be nice to get them early, I'd still pledge the money without it. As long as you guys keep up the quality content, I'd be more than happy to support you.

I'm not paying to see it before anyone else, I'm just paying to see it as soon as possible. I'm not gonna stop paying just because more people get to see it earlier.

PunishedBuster

I originally was but you guys have put out such quality content that wouldn't care to lose the bonus

Joseph Zacaula

I pay for quality not early access. I'm fine with waiting.

Bit of both. I just recently started doing Patreon pledges--I got burned pretty bad on a Kickstarter thing a while back and am leery of giving too much away, at least for now. So for the two I do pledge to support (TeamFourStar and you guys) it's because I REALLY like your guys' work, and my policy is to pay for things I want to see more of. So the early access is nice, but not necessary for my support now or in the future. Just keep doing good work.

Pandora

Totally fine with getting the video at the same time as everyone else.

Tom Feld

i'm currently pledging $25 dollars and only really do it cause i love your work, just grabbed the perks cause it was a "why not" type thing. i don't care for the perks i just wanted to help you guys get to the point you can do abridging as a job since i rate you above even TFS and LittleKuriboh in favs for abridges. hi from australia btw :3 loved ep 8 was so good.

idrhys awik

I want to pledge more, but cannot. Early access is more of a added goodie, but I'm pledged simply because you guys are comedy gold. You are tied extremely close to DBZ abridged as the best abridged I've seen out there, so yeah. It's worth the 2-3$ a month to you guys.

Lucero

Dude I love you guys regardless of the perks. You guys are great, and I'm glad to be pledged. <3

Marshall Kimbrell

Im pledging purely because I love your contents. its hilarious, enetertaing and funny

Tomahito Mori

in all honesty, I'm currently only pledging $1 partly for the early access, and partly because I have a lot of bills and can't afford to offer more at the moment. I WANT to someday raise my pledge, but I don't know when that'll be.

Connie Edogawa

Don't keep it exclusive for us patreon to watch it's not fair to the fans on your youtube channel i supported you guys mainly because i wanted to regardless of any perks.

Gintama Fan Just Do It!

I'll be honest, if I were supporting you guys for just the early access, then I wouldn't be pledging $25 a month. Also, I came here BEFORE early access was a thing, so I'd stay even if that didn't happen.

Code Red

I'll be honest, the early access was a major reason for me to support, but I will keep supporting you guys no matter what you choose. But, I do say that the suggestion made before of reducing the early access time might be a good option.

Sean Francis

I first started to support you for early access, but feeling like I'm really helping you guys makes me want to give you money no matter what I would get in return.

Alex L

I will support without early access, I would drop it, yes I enjoy it, but not fair to your other fans.

Matthew Norman

I couldn't care less about the early access. I pledge just to support you guys and the amazing work you put out. I am subscribed to many youtubers and you are the only channel that I actually care enough to support with my hard earned money.

Aaron W.

He makes a good point. For example, I think Roosterteeth does two days? Or one? People could be less inclined to do this stuff when the wait isn't as long. Just a few days would be plenty early access for me.

Connor Townsend

Is early access really nice? Certainly. Required for continued support? Nope. I wouldn't mind finding another way to view them early, but I'm happy with just the previews, updates, etc. Good luck working this mess out, you have my support. (Obviously)

Connor Townsend

I would still contribute to you either way, but I only pay so much to see them on early access.

The Advent Studio

I support you guys for the hard work you're putting into the episodes, and the early access is a nice extra :)

Danny

I'm supporting you guys for both, good content and early access are pretty dope

Anwar Jones

I'd support regardless of the perks.

indoorwater

I am supporting because I feel the work you guys do is amazing and definitely deserves the funding it gets.

Flightsim777

One thing you could try is only having a delay of 3 days. I usually find that is a better number of days so people don't feel like there is an unfair paywall.

leafbladie

I am supporting for the perks, but if you took them away, I still woild donate a dollar a month.

leafbladie

I'm pledging to support. I can wait until normal post time for the videos.

Devon Yates

I'm just supporting, but early access is sweet. Honestly I'd be fine with the script then watching the episode when it comes out later. Thanks for the amazing work guys.

Marth746

I mostly just do it for the early access.

Samuel Cobb

I started for the early access, but that was after the awesome trailer for the KRF, honestly I love supporting y'all for the series as a whole.

Dartoriath

To be upfront, I just wanted to help fund the amazing work you guys are doing. The early access clips and scripts are more than enough for me to enjoy along with the parody that is really an improvement, and the many more to come.

Alex Rader

I just pledged because I really enjoy the abridged show, I think you guys do a great job, and I just want to continue seeing great content from u guys.

Michael

I did start out with wanting early access, but honestly I just want you guys to continue doing your thing. If you had a $5 perk with only early access I totally would have clicked on that rather than the $1 (but I can't do $10 because starving college boy). Even if you took off early access I'm totally for it and still support it

Tiddilywinks

I started supporting because I love your abridging it is honestly the highlight of my day when a new episode comes out and if I want to laugh and just feel good I go back and watch from ep 1. At the end of the day if my supporting means you can continue to make great video s at a faster rate then I don't need them any earlier .I would love to see kirito and the rest of the gang having a after the episode moment. If that were possible. So yeah please do what you need to create your genius .and don't let them get you down you both rock

flukey mc cassels

I pledged because this this the first abridged series that I really enjoyed,

Kevin Chen

Like many others, I don't donate for the early access, although it is a nice perk. I will keep donating whatever happens.

Mark Waltham

I pledged because I wanted to support you guys in your endeavors and help keep the channel going. Regardless of what you choose to do I will still support you until I am no longer able to.

Quinn Shryock

I don't donate for the early access, I will still keep donating whatever happens. YouTube said anything about the fakers?

I pledged for the two weeks early access for a dollar but i was gonna upgrade to the ten dollars a month next month

Anthony

Honestly, I pledged for the early access, (because it was worth a few dollars to see your stuff a few weeks early), but I'm certainly not going to stop pledging just because everyone else gets to see it early too. As far as I'm concerned, my pledge is a tip I get to make to give back to you for the enjoyment I get out of watching the videos.

bob5972

I came to get the episode early, but I will keep paying regardless. Honestly I hope to raise my pledge to the $10 level soon. Hell just the message from Kirito was reward enough for me...

Kereis

I've killed for less too, $10 Less to be precise...

NeonPhoenix

There's a reason i'm donating $11 of my money per month, and it's because it's worth it. This channel is single-handedly the FUNNIEST on the interwebs, and you deserve all the support. Just keep up the good work, and nobody need get hurt. Although I have killed for less...

ScruffLord

I'm donating to support the videos. not for early access.

JarleVagrast

There's a reason I'm in for $2, because I think it's worth it. You make funny stuff, and I want to support that.

Vincent Bangrazi

As nice as the early access is, we would still get the video at the same time, happy to keep supporting you guys without the early access, providing u guys keep making great videos.... no pressure =)

Scott McPherson

I would keep being a donor regardless of the perks! Your videos always make me smile and I am happy to support you!

Krysia Goodwin

Lets Put it this way, This is single handedly the funniest shit ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET. So I've Decided to give you money... KEEP ON KEEPING ON, I'll always be on your side!

NeonPhoenix

I'm donating just to support you guys. I'm Perfectly fine without the early access perk. But i still expect my hug if we ever meet at a con or something. =)

Jaden

I personally dont care about early access. Just wanted to support your work.

Nevall Parker

Honestly, I supportee you guys for the two week perk. Howver, now i just wanna support you guys. Im about to go from 1-5. Because all of your work is great

Benjamin Addai

I didn't even know there was early access when I joined. I just wanted to support this as I could cus I absolutely loved your work and wanted just plain more of it. I don't really care about early access

Tahseen Mushtaque

I'm pledging so you can put out a higher quality product in less time, I could care less about early access.

Cassidy McCurdy

To be honest, I didn't even know at first that there was early access when I started (sometimes I just miss something when reading), so it wouldn't be too big of a loss for me. Still sucks that people would just take advantage of such a system and act like they're Robin Hood.

Alex Stritar

Like what the disclaimer says we aren't supporting sao but you guys who are the creators. I pay because I want to see you continue to make awesome videos and for you guys to be able to do things that you love. I like watching you guys on stream with ptcchampions. Keep making awesome videos and I'll support you Whether I get early access or not.

Jeremy Corey

Yeah, honestly I started supporting you for early access but if you do remove the early access but keep the $1 pledge then i'll keep supporting you since I love your work

Ernest

I just came from the latest episode on YouTube and signed up for patreon for the sole reason of wanting to support you. I seriously do not have words for how unbelievably good your videos make me feel. I really don't care for any rewards, all I want is to give back to you for all the hours of enjoyment. Out of the 101 subscriptions I have on YouTube, I love these episodes the most, please keep doing what you are doing!

Lukas Bonauer

I'm a supporter not for the perks but to make sure you guys don't let this beautiful thing you've created die off. Keep up the AMAZING work! PS: this is the only show that has made me laugh until I cry in recent months

Christoph

I will definitely support no matter what, however can I suggest a 1 for 1 exchange and propose you come up with a new perk?

Matt Kaufman

You guys are the greatest I will support you guys regaudless. It is cool to get it early don't get me wrong but just the fact that your making such amazing content is enough to support you guys

Jackson

Obviously I'll stick with you guys but I do expect something. I'd even accept a hug

Gal Cherki

I support you guys because I love your work and want you to keep doing it.

Eli Gionet

I support because you guys are awesome, and funny as hell. I don't really care for the early access thing.

Gustavo Cervantes

You guys are pretty much the definition of awesome, so I happily support you guys regardless of the 2 week release perl. So go ahead and them them eat cake.

Ayano Ajisai

I support because I enjoy your content. I'm perfectly fine with the video coming out as normal for everyone, but maybe have some behind the scenes stuff as perks instead. Something that cant be copied on YouTube as an example.

Hethander

I supported because Kirito is Always Right Foundation. That's literally it. :P oh, and because you guys are awesome.

MattsyKun

Pledged for early access. I'm just that damned impatient. Didn't even know about SWE FREE until after I pledged. Meh, whatever.

Chris Shade

Honestly I both want to support you guys just to support you, but I find the early access to be a nice perk.

Duncan Regan

Early access is nice but I'd support you either way

Michael

I honestly contributed because I hope it will help you guys do more contents. Never cared about the perks anyway.

Ahmad Firdaus Norazam

Not gonna lie, I specifically signed up for the early access. Seeing said access removed would be a bummer, but at this point, I don't mind if it goes either way.

Xelarator

Don't really care either way. A great compromise would be to just put in a one day delay to entice the hardcore fans to look at the Patreon, but that's not why I contribute anyway.

Erik Tingelstad

Don't really care about the early access just here to support really awesome people doing a really awesome job keep it up

Luis Mercedes

making the 2 week bonus for a higher tier would actually be a great idea and I think that would solve solve it. But sure I will still donate even without it

erdelf

Well he took the video down, maybe the abuse got through to him

Brandon Lonsdale

I will keep my support either way guys i love your work. Keep up the good work.

Colin

I support you guys because I enjoy your content and will keep supporting you as long as you keep producing that content, no matter what the bonuses are. I want you to keep doing what you love!

DaFluffinater

I decided to support because of the early access... But I would stay if the early access stopped.

xplsov

Ill support you either way. Upping to 5 bucks as well.

Michael Tinnell

I'd support either way, the early access is just a bonus. =)

EternalJedi

I really don't care about the early access with respect to others. This was a great creation that was freakishly awesome. I was planning on supporting some projects on patreon before this one. But this is the one that made an extremely lazy person like me go and make the page and everything. If you are asking if I would still support you, the answer is yes very true. One thing I would prefer for not to happen is the bonus being moved to higher tier. Just scrap it. Truly awesome things like SAO Abriged do not need perks of early access. Perks of the other kind like access to manuscript etc are positive ones. This one is more along the lines of negative for everyone else.

Gaurav Patil

With episode 8 just coming out, I just signed up. It's pretty awesome about the 2 weeks thing, and I'll be giving you money after today regardless, but you could change it up so that the 2 weeks bonus is in a higher tier?

Chris Wagoner

Same same

Austin Taylor

Good on you guys i support Swe and TFS because of the joy u guys bring me and every1 else not for the perks.

Lord McMoose

I pledged to watch the videos as soon as possible. I don't really care if we don't get early access as long as the video goes up as soon as it is finished.

ImplicitZen

Although I really like the two week thing, I would still support you the same amount if you didn't offer that.

Caleb

I pledged for the early access not gonna lie but I will still support you guys even if you have to remove it. Just want to so you guys keep making these amazing videos.

Alex Arceri

I personally pledged just to get episodes early and to help you guys to make more of these you guys are awesome I also like being able to watch them early

Red

Same

Fletcher DeRouen

Personally, the main reason why I patron'ed you guys, is because I think you guys deserve it. I will admit that originally, what had caused me to pledge was the fact I could get the episodes early, but seeing how you guys are handling this current situation, I have personally changed my mind, and would do it simply to do it. I would also recommend others to do it even though they wouldn't get anything for it.

Kyle Landau

I signed on because I want to support SWE. I didn't even watch it when it was released early because I was waiting until I could watch it at the same time as everyone else. I just want you to take the route that gets you the best funding and produces the best content.

Bob Tokumaru

I signed up to support the Amazing work and writing that you guys do..........not for the early release!!!

Pamela

Signed for both support and the early access, would be pretty sad if the early access was gone, but not a deal breaker for me.

Balint Krencz

Signed for early access, but if you took that off I'd still support you guys, it's going towards a mad cause. If you took off early access, I wouldn't mind. Frankly I think it's a lil' sad many cant see it until two weeks later. I still value the other perks you guys offer. So yep. You guys keep being awesome now. Have a nice day.

Samuel Willems

I signed up for the early access, but I'm staying because you guys do great work, even if you end up not doing early access for any other videos.

Josh Anderson

Being honest? 50-50. I did it partially for perk but also for support. My amount may not reflect that but that's because I have no job at moment....

Matthew Warfe

It's partly due to the early access, but your content is so great, I want to ensure that it keeps coming out :)

David Blutstein

I'm supporting you guys for SAOA itself. Not for early access.

BlueDragonKaiser

We've been following all of the comments and discussions on his YouTube page since this all began, and we have been deeply touched by your support. ~Hayabusa449

Something Witty Entertainment

I signed up because I want to help ensure that SAO Abridged will continue, not for early access. :)

Liz

I personally went half and half i wanted to watch early and it helped you with making them so im fine to lose out on the early access as long as im helping you guys out.

Blake Topham

Also you guys should check out the channel and video the guy set up. you have a bunch of use suppourting you there. and calling him out on his theift and of how he's doing you guys dirty! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byYdoo_bb6I" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byYdoo_bb6I</a>

Mark Graham

I'm here for support,I want to see this great work of abridged glory. Paying for it is nice to see it go faster and early access is nice. However not necessary, I'll pay regardless to see this done.

Edward

Listen, I don't think most of us signed up for the perks. I signed up because it was the best comedy show I have ever seen. This is the first and only youtube channel I give money to, because your videos are as good as they get.

James Parker

I'm totally fine with no early access, I never had much interest in the benefits, not that they aren't cool or anything, I just signed up to lend what little support I can to payback for all the entertainment I receive which feels only fair.

Dave

I am supporting you guys, I'm enjoying this more than the original. I hate to see you in trouble because of some random guy that don't want to callaborate with 1$ at least; you gave us free laughs for a while, now we support you because we want to see this grow. Keep up the good job!

Denis Alexandre

I support you guys because what you produce is worth the money as is. What you all do takes time and energy and talent.. And it pisses me off, the thought that someone wants to disrespect that! Whatever you all decide, I will continue to support you. Period.

Jonathan Jeremiah Smith

They already posted on their channel.

Brian Drennen

supporting bc i want to support u guys

Scothy

I don't care at all about the early access. Just continue to make the great content we all know you do!

Lykos Menon

Supporting cuz I want yall to keep making videos, will continue to support without perks.

Evan Gatewood

Just wanted to support man, you guys keep doing your thing and making what makes you happy. It wasn't about early access, just helping out. In saying that, the early access is nice and I understand the hesitation to remove it or make it a lower perk bracket but whatever you and your team decide I support your decision

Ty Caughlin

The two week advance is really nice, but it's also a long time. Some people don't want to wait two weeks for something they really enjoy, and they're tight on money and can't pledge. I think a good compromise would be to lessen the waiting period to maybe a day or so. That wouldn't be too bad. As a bonus, Patrons would be able to watch the premier of each new episode on a live stream with you guys. As for me personally, I'm in the same camp as a lot of people: the early access got me interested, but I wouldn't renege on supporting you guys for the content you create. If the perk goes, I doubt you'll lose much support.

Michael Cardona

Agreed (to lazy to typ the same thing)

Lucius the Eternal, Fulgrim's Champion

I just wanted to support to hopefully see more episodes out sooner, the fact some dickhead just uploads them themselves pisses me off. The fact that they'd betray someone's trust like that.

Cyber

Before it was early access to some extent. Now it's mainly because i have a personal hatred for seeing independent artists being ripped off. Especially if it's from some shit-head who's too cheap to cough up a dollar.

michaelgeathers

I couldn't care less about the early access. You guys just make great content and I want you to keep it up.

kluck

I pledged because i wanted to help support somthing that i thought was awesome. If the early access were to dissapear it would be ok with me. I would like to help yall to continue to make great content. Yall are awesome!

Ven0mZero

Partly for early access but mostly because it'll mean faster releases. Support from us means more stuff from you guys.

JCFenton

The early access was indeed what got me interested in the first place, but I wouldn't stop supporting you if it disappeared. $1.00 isn't a lot of money to pay, especially per month, and every little bit helps anyways. I was very happy to see the increase in quality in Episode 08, and it really made me feel I helped make that happen. For me, that's already a good enough reward. ;)

MtH

I pledged to help you make more frequent videos. If you feel that the two weeks early access has problems that would get in the way of that then by all means, go ahead.

Oni1992

I solely did it for support. I mean great content deserves support. Honestly I read about the early access after I already had decided to pledge money. I thought of it as a nice bonus but nothing I need. I'm all about watching it and reading people comments/reactions. So if it's me you can leave this option out of the world, I wouldn't mind it :)

Mitwo

While I enjoy the early release. I would still gladly support you guys even if you took that away.

Benjamin Allard

I like the perk to be honest, but its not neccicary, I pledged to you guys. I give you my measly dollar because I want the end goal to happen, I want more and more SOA Abridged from yall. I dont mind not having early access to it. I love the fact that its there! but if you guys feel unsafe because of the DOUCHE Nozzle SWE FREE then take it down, I rather you all hve your go rightful due and to be happy with what you make instead of being plauged by whether Its going to be stoled and per-released. who knows maybe you guys need more time to edit it. and by the way LOL Voldemort caught in a grease fire XD

Mark Graham

I pledged for the possibility of more frequent videos. I didn't even know about early access. And the live-stream only option is a problem, because of timing. I'm in university, I have a dog, and I lost my job, so I have to look for a new one. I'll keep pledging until I decide I'm done (probably won't happened because I'm lazy).

Dylan

I apreciate the early access, but i don't need it in order to keep supporting. I will do so regardless

SonofKalas

Honestly the big reason i did start supporting you guys was because of the 2 weeks early but i understand why you wouldn't want to do that anymore with whats happened. But no matter what you decide to do i will support you guys.

Foster Clarke

I will admit that I truly appreciate the early acess, but I just support because I like what you guys are doing. I mean, if anything else could be done instead of early access that can help fill the void, like biweekly "deleted scenes " from previous episodes (they can be completely fabricated) that would be awesome. But I'm happy to support such an amazing show.

Kevin Torres

I originally pledged for the two weeks, but then I realized that if I keep supporting you guys can make more content faster

Derek Elg

I watched the stream with several friends as an event for our college anime club. It went over really well, and people enjoyed the exclusivity. From what I heard, a few people were going to back you all so they could watch it again. Honestly, as long as there's some vector for it, people are going to pirate/share/etc. Best you can do imo is just make claims and move on. But personally I love the early releases. Combined with the scripts, I don't think we could ask for much more. Keep it up guys, love what you're doing!

Shayne Fitzgerald

Okay I'll man up and admit that I really do like the whole two weeks early thing and honestly that's what swayed me the most on whether to pledge or not BUT I will still support you guys even if you take away the two week premium I enjoy your so much SAO was my first anime and I really do enjoy all of the work you guys do to make it even better than the original so that's my input I wish you guys luck in making the decision

Florine Xavalien

Early access for me is unnecessary, i don't have a need to feel exclusive. I get to watch regardless of whether or not i'm one of the first.

Dylan K

I'll admit I originally only pledged for the ea, but if that was removed I wouldn't take away my donation, and if I had more money to throw around I'd probably be donating $50 a month

Brandon Lonsdale

I do it for the support although I do like the perks :P

George

I'll support you no matter your choice. As the creators, I will respect any changes you make.

Csharp111

I like what some of the other folks have said about reducing EA to just a few days beforehand. I'll admit that the idea of getting two weeks early access for just a few bucks a month was what drew me in the most, but I'd keep supporting you even if you nerfed it. Especially if can give you this awesome opportunity, and if it helps you guys crank out episodes quicker.

Caleb Hopkins

I Love the early access but honestly if that were to go away i wouldn't mind. As long as you guys kept making videos i'd still sub. Yamato's voice is just too awesome to not do dubs for. We see videos when we see them. Just keep up the good work.

Endoresu

You guys are awesome! I don't need early access for donating a few bucks a month, you can get rid of the perk for all I care!

Allen Cousland

I pledge cos I like SAO and the stuff you make is awesome

Rano

I supported you guys becouse i think you are doing a VERY go job. I say just let the people see it all at the same time. I'm happy to give you the money because I wanted you to continue on making this series.

JUSTIN HOPKINS

The early access is awesome and such. And the is just me, but early access wasn't th main reason why I subbed. That was to help some amazing creators keep doing what they loved, so if it means waiting another two weeks so be it. You guys are awesome and I love your videos.

Dakota Rhoades

I'm pledging to support this awesome project and the team at SWE. The EA is a great perk, as is the scripts. (Which i hope to use to help a future audition to SWE ;) ) But ultimately I pledge because I love the project :)

Allan Bott

Since your first few episodes have been out, I have been following you guys. I donated before I knew it was early access. If you stop this early access thing, SWE Free will think he won (it's sad but I think he did). You could also make it just 1 day early access not 2 weeks. Idk.

Brian Drennen

I'm just supporting you guys, I even forgot about the early access thing. However, I don't think you should "give up" on offering it. Even if not many of the "current patrons" care about it. It gives people a little push to actual pledge something in the first place. Alternatively, you could just give patrons access 2 DAYS in advance instead. It's small enough that these SWE Free guys wouldn't bother, but it's still a little something.

Morry

Early access is a nice perk, but if it only causes harm, you might as well remove it.

Crisp

I don't need that early access to support you guys. My money (even though at the moment it's on a buck a month) goes towards helping you guys complete the videos faster. Even if you take away the early access I'll continue to pledge cause I love this series. It's hilarious and I want more. If I have to give some funds towards that I'd be happy to do so

PoisonTrainerCody

I pledge simply to support you guys and the work you do, waiting two weeks to see an episode instead of early is nothing, I'm willing to wait :)

Jesse Connolly

That would be a no on my part. Delays are so endemic to fan productions; in other words, I'm used to it, and SWE FREE can literally go die in a barn fire.

Mark 'The Commissioner' Hancock

The early access is a nice benefit I think we can all agree on this, but honestly I think a majority of people would be fine without it if it means no or less drama with other people pulling shenanigans like SWE Free. We pledge because we want to support the amazing work you guys do at the end of the day no? That said however I think the pre-release stream is a great idea and you should continue to do that as an alternative but if I may offer a suggestion, possibly air it more than once accounting for differing timezones for the people who are unable to be present at the first time or (like myself) simply missed it.

While early acces to videos are something that is truly amazing, I am here to support you in making this masterpiece, and if a traitor feels like abusing your gifts, then I can understand if you put it down

Marc Haagensen

Early access is/was nice, but in the long run what's 2 weeks? It'll be out when it's out. Do what you need to do, it's up to you.

Dragonal01

Early access is nice, but wholly unnecessary if it causes you guys harm. For me, helping you is enough.

Kevin Dodgion

Early access is nice, but if you need to take it away to keep away these posers who would rob you of money you deserve, then by all means go for it. I for one will keep supporting no matter the change.

The Wandering Sun

I pledged to support the creation of the show, so that you guys can keep making new videos more often. I enjoyed the public stream a couple days ago, but it wasn't why I pledged to the series.

Megabyte01

Also, something some people here should understand... We won't get the content any later. It's just everyone would get it with us. It's not like it will take two more weeks for us to see it.

derek lebeau

The perk is nice, but I am just supporting good content.

Citino

I pledged for the early access. I enjoy the content and want to consume it as quick as possible.

Ethan Tarr

I pledged $1 just for early access as its cheap and doesn't come as any real problem. I'd prefer to keep the early access but would keep my pledge even without.

Jackson Martin

I pledged for the early access but if it needs to go to make sure you guys are getting the credit you deserve than by all means take it down my pledge will still remain, keep up the great work.

Daniel Hernandez

My first thought when I pledged was that your content was definitely worth my money. I enjoy the 2 weeks early perk though, and want to keep it around just so this random asshat doesn't "win".

Trevor Anderson

Yes, I, indeed, pledged just 1$ for having early access, for this is the price you guys set for it and i think it's perfectly fair. Though I'm not going to unpledge just because someone put the video into free access. In fact, I didn't even know of such case, cause, why bother searching if i got access alredy, right?

valhaal

I like the early access. But I'm also supporting other out there that are making content as well. I enjoy the work and will support regardless.

Anthony A

At first i just wanted the early access. But later i wanted to support you guys for the awesome content you provide. I probably watched the series 20 times or so. Every time i watched it, i laughed for hours. Even if you drop the early access thing i would still be supporting you.

Berk Demirkan

To be honest, I dont even use the perks, I like watching it when it comes out to immerses in the comments joint video to get the best experience. My pledges and supports stays as long as SAOAbridged is funny and they keep coming

DarkCharisma

I pledged for early access. However, at only $1 a month, if you needed to get rid of the early access, I wouldn't take that back. Y'all are honestly the best abridged group I've seen in a while, so you've earned support.

Seth Brady

I pledged to support.

Accbar

I pledged to support you, I don't really care about early access.

Lulidine

I'm pledging not because of the perks, but because you make awesome content! I don't care if you remove the 2 week early notice thing, but keep doing what your doing and don't let this guy ruin our great friendship of great patreons and staff a-like!

Honestly, I pledged for the Scripts lol

Michael O'Connor

It's pretty even for me the I really like the early access but what really got me to pledge was just helping you guys make this amazing content but I would definitely be sad to see the early access go.

logan sullivan

I pledged for early access.

Stopcrying Itwontdoanygood

I'm pledging mainly to support something that I enjoy. I didn't even realize I until Friday I was getting early access.

JSBTHREE

I'll still pledge regardless of early access

Scot Lamb

Early access or not, my pledge stays. I love what you guys do, that's why I give.

derek lebeau

Well I did pledge just for early access, but if it gets these videos out quicker, I'll pledge more money. These are hilarious, and I'll give a few extra dollars if it means you'll keep making these videos

Andy Ellis

early access was the reason i pledged and its important to me because i love the show so much. loosing it wouldnt stop me from donating though

thor boutin

I love the show and you guys and honestly,early access was what made me donate in the first place but I wouldn't stop donating if you'd take the early access away.

Awoken

I kinda did it for the early viewing but also cause I wanted to pitch in something to...reward? All your hard work. Even if early screening is on twitch or whatever else or none at all I personally wouldn't mind. Heck if early is out I'll just be patient. XD

However I do find the people posting it early on YouTube pure discrace

While the early access is what convinced me to pledge, if it was gone I wouldn't stop pledging.

I want to support your work, but the main reason I pledged was for the early access. I needed my fix :)

Honestly, just supporting you guys is like chipping in a bit so everyone gets earlier access. After all, the money goes to you guys making the episodes and making them fucking hilarious! Though if I might add, you may want to look into secure video formats if you decide to try and more regulate your videos. There are some out there that are meant to have a sort of DRM that could prevent this. Haven't gotten enough into cyber security to name a specific file type, but I do know it is possible. Either that or find a secure service that hosts the video and doesn't offer a download option until you are ready to post to YouTube. Another alternative is to offer a sort of deleted scenes piece instead of early access. I saw there were parts of the last script you didn't use that would have been pretty funny.

I am pledging because I love your work and want to support it. Perks are always fun but I would support no matter what

I'm pledging just to have a good laugh in SAOA

Yes , I have pledged for the early access. I won't lie.

I just want the episodes to come out faster in general.

The early viewing is nice, but I'm pledging mostly just to help the series itself continue. Two weeks doesn't make a huge difference to me, so long as I know an episode is on the way.

I'm pledging because I want to support you guys, but I really like the early viewing/livestream thing and I'd be disappointed to see it abandoned (but I wouldn't cancel my support over it).
