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

[NaturalZero]

Following the cast of CR, seeing their interviews, following their shows, etc., I'm of the impression that they are the most mature, genuine and compassionate type of adult humans. They are the exact type of folks I want to see succeed over toxic social media leeches.

If these numbers are true, that's great for CR. They're the highest money-making account on all of Twitch, which would be awesome (and not really that surprising). They deserve it, too.

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.

It should be taken down. Why host these images here at ENWorld?

I'm disgusted xQc makes that much off of being absolutely a toxic kid in Overwatch.

xQc will always be remembered as the moron who got fool’s mated out of a chess tournament, despite being coached by one of the highest rated chess players in the world for that very same tournament.

I guess I haven't spent a whole of time thinking about how much money CR is making...but I hope it's a LOT more than $9 million.

$9 million, minus overhead, minus taxes, split 7-ish ways, over 3 years, in Los Angeles? That's not enough to buy a house.

I want the biggest nerds on the planet to be BALLERS.

Yea. Note however that's just from twitch. And while it might be wrong I've seen some say it might be too low.

Well, Twitch isn't their only source of revenue. There's also YouTube, plus their sponsors (at least 2 per show for the whole of campaign 2, I think) among others.

And an Amazon series. A few kickstarters. Their retail store. Appearances. Comic books.

Someone on Twitter did some analysis, pointed out that this revenue would only cover $70,000 salaries for the 31 employees (counting the actors). That said, this is just one revenue source, but $70,000 doesn't go very far in California.

And boardgames. And the books that they've published (Tal'dorei Campaign Guide, Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, their next Tal'dorei book).

Suffice it to say, they're making a lot of money off of Critical Role.
