I think this is a great idea for sponsorship of RGD. Think about it: Ross wants to cover obscure, weird, or little known games, typically those of an older vintage. Good Old Games sells older, obscure, weird, and often forgotten PC games. And we know that PC games, whether IBM-compatible or even *gasp* lesser remembered PC platforms like those from Amiga, Atari, Commodore, Sinclair, et cetera, are usually overlooked by those conducting retro game videos these days due to the occasional technical difficulties in running them and the lack of the authors' exposure to these platforms during their formative years.
Just imagine, the RGD videos would be similar to how they are now with two little changes: the GOG.com logo shows up at the beginning and/or end of the video and as a watermark in the corner throughout the body of the review; and the games are chosen from the company's existing catalog instead of all over the place as they are now. And, as this would be just a temporary though hopefully bountiful and long-lasting sponsorship deal, we would return back to the normal formatting/selection at the end of the partnership.
Game Center CX has done something similar with Nintendo. Usually Game Center does play-throughs of 20th century games, but it is such a popular show that Nintendo sponsored a number of episodes during which the host played NES & SNES games via the Virtual Console option on Wii. And that went so well that a few short years later, Nintendo sponsored the show again, this time to have him play through Famicom Remix and then later Famicom Remix 2 for the Wii U. And we all know that GOG is more approachable than Nintendo.
Now we know that Ross had a very successful crowd-based fundraiser. And that, as a wise guy, he'll spend the money judiciously and invest what he can with prudence. But more money is a good thing. You never know when unexpected expenses will crop up. And it's nice to live a little more, to occasionally splurge on something not required for day-to-day living and yet be oh-so-nice to have. Like, for example, pretty, shiny, precious metals and gemstones for his lady friend.
All I'm saying is that a little contact, then negotiating, followed by signing a contract for a few episodes could result in additional thousands of dollars going Ross and company's way. We fans could even pitch in our voices on the GOG Wishlist to help make it happen. And easier living for Ross & friends is a good thing for all of us.
