You're absolutely right, but to some extent, that'll be covered by their platforms, who are pledging at least $50,000 to OBS (but I suspect much more). [1] [1]

- jrockway 5y agoThat doesn't cover even a single full-time developer, so while it's nice, it's not really meaningful. Think about how much Twitch pays for something like Slack or Google Docs. (I'm sure they have in-house alternatives, which probably make them even more expensive, actually.)
- Hamuko 5y ago>That doesn't cover even a single full-time developer Absolutely does, just not in the US.
- pc86 5y agoBetween Patreon and the contributors page they're getting about $60k/yr, which doesn't include YouTube, Twitch, or Facebook, who are presumably donating/supporting enough to cover multiple developers each to earn that spot on the page. I'd love to see more public, vocal support of OBS too but let's not pretend that they're collecting change out of couch cushions to pay the people working on it.
