You know, RT really can't say that they're poor anymore. They literally just got $700k for a board game where each individual copy costs $45, and that includes RT making a profit. There was maybe 10k people backing it. They literally started at 4 times the base asking price that the Dark Souls board game asked for. You need some money to produce a board game and run the initial production...but you don't need $700k to do so.

And that doesn't take into account the money they earn from other shows, merchandise, FIRST memberships, movies like Lazer Team 1 and 2...basically they started off a small business based off a couch, but they have very much moved past that stage and onto far bigger (and more profitable) things.
