D&D 5E Twitch Breach and huge data dump with some purporting CR earned $9 million over three years

[LordEntrails]

I've got no problem with how much money CR is making. It's really no longer (and hasn't been for years) a couple of friends just playing RPGs and streaming it. These guys are professionals, they put on a professional show, they have professional sound, lighting and camera people. And they have lawyers and legal fees and all sorts of business overhead.

They have invested their time and money and have been successful. That's great that they appear to be getting financially rewarded.

Damn, Ed Greenwood should get on twitch or better yet YouTube live screaming as twitch sucks as an app.

Also remember that twitch accounts can be tied to Amazon and DnDBeyond. I wonder if it would be a good idea to change those passwords too.

 

[Umbran]

I think the major takeaway from this shouldn't be "how much money CR makes", but "CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS ASAP"

Yeah. Using leaks like this to discuss the earnings of private businesses... is pretty sleazy. I mean, I doubt few here would be happy if their own financial information was made available on the internet.

 

[overgeeked]

Good for them. They earned it.

What was my Twitch password again...

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

Every time I have to log into Twitch, it invariably involves clicking the Forgot Password link.

It would be better to talk about how Critical Role started their own charity foundation, which is pretty darn cool of them. Even outside of their earnings, their ability to signal boost makes it no small thing:

Critical Role Foundation | Critical Role

Our mission is simple: TO LEAVE THE WORLD BETTER THAN WE FOUND IT. CRF selects and partners with outstanding non-profit organizations that carry the same values as we do.

critrole.com

Am I reading this right, is Critical Role the biggest revenue-generating stream on Twitch? That seems like a big deal, regardless of the actual number.

Screaming, of course.

Yeah, by a bit. And not really that surprising. I wonder what the time frame on those numbers are.

August 2019 to October 2021 to my understanding
